By "zone out", I don't think he means vacantly ogle the scenery. He's just advocating turning off the music/podcasts, disabling phone notifications, and just driving. I often do this when I find my base stress level rising. You just watch the road in front of you while you turn things over in your head the whole time.

It's something that people are unknowingly depriving themselves of when they insist on constantly signal jamming their brains with Facebook/Instagram/Twitter/Feedly.
