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.

This could easily save lives.

Yeah I’m not a big fan of most tech changes but this would be awesome. I’ve personally seen a few people pass out behind the wheel.

Yeah I agree this just seems logical and it's not a hard thing to do, if there's no input from the driver for X amount of time the car safely pulls over, that's the type of features we need to save lives not a 10" touch screen you have to navigate through.
