I am glad that you are offering some more valuable advise to this forum.

As many of us know if an airbus override the TOD an EICAS message is trigged. How difficult and expensive would be to have a EICAS link with the Autopilot and start a desend if no action from the crew are detected within 30-60 sec. ?(for this kind of emmergency) Regarding where to go we would let the IRS to guide the plane where there are no objects at 10,000 .
This would create at least a more survivable enviroment for somebody else to intervene and at least to confirm the emmergency in board by radio receiving maybe valid instruction to bring the plane close to a point/speed/configuration that will enable the AUTOLAND,
what do you think? Hollywood science?

I just hope that this forum will not serve for a show of intelligence and aviation knowledge but will promote safety. I hope that some body will ask the industry to act to avoid that a even very low probability of double incapacitation will occur a third time.
