> However, despite completing this task on something like autopilot, your drive will still be intelligently adjusted to situational intricacies, such as how fast or slow the driver in front of you is going, or when the traffic lights change. In attempting to account for the intelligent dimension of habit, researchers have moved away from construing habits as unintelligent mechanisms and towards modelling them as a species of belief.
I wouldn't attribute this to an added dimension of intelligence because I see two "unintelligent" habits at play here. The first habit is the route you take to work and knowing which streets to take and what intersections to turn on. The second is your driving skills. "Intelligently" adjusting to situational intricacies like how fast the driver in front of you is going doesn't seem intelligent because it's just a reflex of an experienced driver. Put the two together and that's how you make it to work on autopilot.
