I was a professional driver for 20 years. I can attest that autopilot is a real thing.

It’s easy to monitor traffic on either side but end up daydreaming and miss a turn.

I’ve been out of the transport industry for five years now and I still occasionally find myself auto-piloting to places I used to deliver to. It’s so weird.

I drove black cars for a bit, I've definitely just taken the airport exit once when I was out of it. Glad I'm not alone.

Yeah. It’s not a big deal, but how you handle it really matters. (This is advice for anyone else reading; I’m sure you know.)

If you miss your turn because you’re daydreaming or whatever, just keep going. DO NOT swerve three lanes over to an exit or whatever other dumb shit. You fucked up. Deal with it without putting other people in danger.
