Methink .. if I understand the idea of the poster....
The autopilot can't rely on bad datas of course ... but it's possible to have another law for the autopilot in this case:
Immediately .. when bad data detected .. autopilot keep speed and altitude attitude (freeze settings) and warn the pilot for check what is wrong .....
OK so... rather than hand the plane back to the pilot, you want the computer to keep flying the plane but to not even try to respond to inputs, just freeze itself at the last setting.
I'm REAL glad you don't design autopilots for a living.
As I asked the last guy... Did you even think that comment through before you made it?
