The plane could sound an alarm for you to check in if it thinks you're not conscious.

It pretty much works like you'd imagine, with the addition that a passenger could engage it if required.
- owlninja 7y agoThanks for the link! >In the M600 Autoland application, the system activates at 18,000 feet if the autopilot is engaged and the pilot doesn’t interact with the avionics in a 15-minute period. At higher altitudes, the engagement period is shorter. Autoland also tries to alert the pilot with repeated chiming sounds and asking, “Are you alert” before engaging.
