So, maybe a “human take the wheel” followed by a “slam the brakes” if no input is detected in 2-3 seconds.

I have seen reports where Tesla logic appears as "Human take the wheel since the airbag is about to deploy in the next 2 micro seconds after solely relying on camera object detection and this is totally YOUR fault, kthxbai!" If there was an option to allow the bot to physically bail out of the car as it rolls you onto the tracks while you're still sitting in the passenger seat, that's how I would envision how this auto pilot safety function works.
