Take a look at the video at the bottom of my page discussing the Nissan
ProPilot (v1) system for a sharp corner failure of Tesla autopilot (and
driver failing to take over....)

Autopilot will only safely bring you to a stop if autopilot can remain
engaged according to its rules that entire time. If a driver engages
autopilot, and the Tesla determines that it is a situation it can't handle
(e.g. a sharp curve in the road), it will kick you out with very little
warning. I think this skews the autopilot safety results.. for truly
dangerous situations it can't handle, well surely autopilot wouldn't be
engaged in an accident, since it would have kicked the user out of it
moments before the problem. I use autopilot quite a lot and am happy with
its ability to reduce driving fatigue for long boring drives, but I would
never trust it to be totally failsafe if I didn't touch the wheel, I've had
to make a couple quick wheel grabs for the situations I described.

It does this already (somewhat). If you don't acknowledge the attention
"nag" it requests, which is to place some slight force on the wheel from
time to time, it will set off an alarm and ask you to take over. If you
don't, it will turn on the hazard flashers and slow to a stop. Of course
it's possible to keep force on the wheel enough to satisfy the nag, and
still not pay attention to the road.
