I have also experienced this, I was driving home on an 18 lane major highway in Ontario every night and would get home with no memory of the entire drive.
On the other hand I also had severe untreated sleep apnea at the time so I would say that highway hypnosis might mask other disorders that are actually very dangerous.
I wonder how this works for neurodivergent people. I’m thinking specifically of task switching issues, autistic inertia, and memory issues. Seems like it could be a huge issue, especially if under diagnosed.
