Whether you have fallen asleep or fallen ill, the situation is unsafe anyway and risk has increased. Its certainly a better outcome than the car just continuing on but I'd also prefer the car to pull off the road.
Around where I live, there are many places where there is no "off the road" except into a ditch or over a bank. The car will do AP on two lane roads, remember. It is much safer to just slow and stop with the hazards flashing. If there were people, cyclists, cars parked, etc., "off the road" could do a lot of damage. The car is only aware of the road.
