Autopilot

Post by 93Regina »

Philosopher David Malet Armstrong points out:

If you have driven for a very long distance without a break, you
may have had experience of a curious state of automatism, which can
occur in these conditions. One can suddenly ‘come to’ and realize that
one has driven for long distances without being aware of what one was
doing, or, indeed, without being aware of anything. One has kept the
car on the road, used the brake and the clutch perhaps, yet all
without any awareness of what one was doing.
