I think this apply to any kind of emergency. Planes can squawk a codes to signal emergency w/o rĂ¡dio and get the controller attention.

Mayday call is used on life threatening situations.

Yeah--the point is that a plane under robot control like that is going to be calling mayday and everyone on the frequency is going to make way for it if possible. You make way for a plane calling mayday like you make way for any vehicle running lights and sirens--but in the sky there's a lot more ability to make room and a lot more enforcement against anyone who doesn't obey.
