It looks like the majority of recent F-22 mishaps were due to pilots pushing beyond their endurance levels. Wonder if we need to include some sort of auto-pilot for this plane that detects significant loss of consciousness.

With all the instrumentation those things have in them, would it not be reasonable to assume that there would be an emergency button to record and transmit the location and heading when the pilot bails out?

That would narrow the search area considerably.
Just have it triggered by the ejection seat.
