What is really happening is that you are so familiar with the drive that your brain can perform it without any input from you. Kind of like when breath you don't need to tell your lungs to breath they just do. The problem is that this could lengthen your reaction time causing an accident so its best to try and focus on the road and check your mirrors often, anything to keep your attention on driving.
is it normal that i drive on auto-pilot?
