Most other cars I have driven that have active lane keep, if they deem you to not be holding the steering wheel, they just give up and stop steering entirely, so the car just goes in a straight line and crashes.
Yet others are programmed to auto-shut off at <40mph so even if the car slows on its own it will crash when it gets below 40mph if the driver is unconscious.
Tesla will punish you by not letting you use autopilot until the next time you exit and re-enter the car, but before the punishment starts it will at least continue autopiloting and lane-keeping all the way to 0mph, and switch on the emergency flashers.

Would have guessed lane-keep would include old-school cruise control as well, that turns off when pushing the accelerator. So, as soon as it disengages would expect it to slowly roll to a stop, while staying in the lane. I'm glad I don't have any of these features, hearing now that they are so poorly designed.
