"Highway Hypnosis" is a well documented phenomenon. Your body is essentially autopiloting the drive. It most commonly happens when you're driving a route you're familiar with, like a commute.

And it doesn’t only happen to people with ADHD.

Yeah, I get the feeling that some people with an ADHD diagnosis (or self-diagnosis) try to explain everything as a symptom of ADHD. Creates a lot of noise in this community, unfortunately.

This happens to me while on my ebike sometimes and always gets me into the most dangerous close calls
