But I think the point is that there is no difference. I don''t think people allow themselves to go into autopilot, it just happens, and the key to preventing these tragedies is to realize exactly that. Scientifically, according to the article, our brains just do this, we do not choose to do it, or allow our brains to do it, it just happens.Date: 3/11/2009 3:04:54 PM

Tgal - I understand the blanking part. I look at autopilot or auto drive in this case as following a routine route as was given as an example. Blanking out is totally different. I blank out a lot while I''m painting, and yes have done so while I was driving (remember, red light? no particular thoughts going on there). But that person still is allowing their brain to override the current here and now of what they are supposed to be doing.
