Yes it is amazing how you can do that. Our bodies are busy processing data all the time just eg our pottering round the house, (with the occassional blip when we put the sugar in the fridge), but finding we have been hurtling along the motorway at seventy on auto pilot as well is a bit disconcerting.

Yeah...I prob shouldn't have blurted out "OMG...I'm driving!" to my four passengers...

I drive a great deal for work but within a set mostly-rural area a couple of hours across either way. I often find myself 'blissing out' and going on a kind of autopilot, but always safely thank goodness.
Once I came to and had no idea where I was... totally forgotten where I was heading, what I was doing there, and didn't recognise the road. It only lasted a few seconds but they were very disconcerting seconds.

Yes, I drive a lot too, and that has happened to me before...I always hold out hope that if something unexpected happened, the brain would re-engage in time!

IME it always does.. I used to commute though N london in the car (a1 to greenford) and often I'd 'surface' just in time to take some unusual decision, but over 12 months I learnt to accept it and rely on my mind to make the right decision!
