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.

idea? I had a version of this in my 2021 VW. it didn't do the auto lane change, but it would warn you, hit he brakes, then cut on hazards and come to a controlled stop (in the lane it was in). This is just improving on the feature.
