When it gets unremarkable, you can entertain yourself with a book, or a show, or just zone out completely, which is nice from time to time. Doing any of these in a car is deadly.

I will take unremarkable over necessarily stressful

I'll never forget passing a car on the freeway and seeing an asshole reading a big hardcover book while in the driver's seat of a Tesla sedan going 120 kph. both hands on the book.

I don't want to have to drive on the same roads as these idiots, let me take a train

The worst thing about driving is literally everyone else. You have to trust that the drivers around you are not the dumbest people alive.
