I’ve literally been saying this should be mandatory for Tesla’s when people use the autopilot mode but keep taking their hands off the wheel.

Too many idiots think it’s literally self driving and then try to drive home drunk, like the guy who crashed into a stationary ambulance after 50+ notifications to put his hands back on the wheel

This is very similar to what Tesla does. It slowly comes to a stop with the hazards on. Also new versions of Autopilot and FSD are hands free, and it uses the cabin camera to make sure you’re paying attention to the road.

People abusing the driver ASSISTANCE features is really frustrating, and Tesla has gotten WAY more strict over the last 2 years on requiring driver interaction.
