How would it be able to be automated?

It would be worth a shot to see and maybe trying millisecond calculation adjustments of where it cuts to see at least how smooth it could be.

How would it be able to be automated?

IF the audio switches cleanly from one mic to the other mic at precisely constant intervals, then we could:
1. Make a duplicate copy of the track
2. Modulate the first track with a square wave that has precisely the same interval as the "switching" to mute alternate sections.
3. Modulate the second track with a square wave that is 180 degrees out of phase with the first, to give us the other mic.
4. Use "Truncate Silence" effect to remove the silences.

Steps 2 and 3 would be done with a Nyquist script (which we would need to write).

Should I send you the audio track to try it?

Three solutions to alternately chop at equal-intervals are covered in this thread ... viewtopic.php?p=233255#p233255

Tried a few times coming back to this to make sense of it but I think I'm a bit out of my depth in trying those solutions myself..
