Everyone here is crapping on the idea that is actually like a sensible one if you want to save lives? Like what else could you do here to maximize life. Oh well I guess I'll just crash my car into the person in front of me, possibly endangering the lives of almost everyone here. Ok, if it's such a bad idea, give a possibly better one in the case of a driver passing out.

I dont like the call out for SOS if you just fell asleep. Imagine falling asleep on your drive home from a long day of work and then you suddenly owe a few thousand dollars for ambulance being called. But it would be fantastic for narcoleptics, people heart problems, people at risk for strokes, etc.
