What if the camera pointing to the sky detects a big falling rock?

If I was in a wheelchair and a big falling rock was heading towards my head and I didn't know it, I don't think I'd want my wheelchair to take over and "slow down and/or come to a complete stop"...I think I'd want it to speed up or somehow alert me (e.g. "Alert. Danger. Big falling rock.")

Just a thought. I guess it depends on how well they programmed their ai.
