Automobilepilot

Pronunciation: otto mo beel pyle ot

Sentence: Magenta drove her KIA home along the same route everyday. Because she had travelled the route and knew the dangers and nuances in each stage of the journey, she went into an automobilepilot state. This meant she left work and arrived home without remembering a single thing in between. No wonder she got 3 photo radar tickets in the mail for one particular day...the one she discovered she was pregnant, got a promotion and went through 2 red lights, very quickly!

Etymology: Automobile (car, vehicle usually with internal combustion engine) & Autopilot (a navigational device that automatically keeps ships or planes or spacecraft on a steady course; a cognitive state in which you act without self-awareness)
