This is the key to the question. When I first got in a driver’s seat, I immediately focused on the feedback from the wheel, spatially judging where the car was, all the things happening around me, and the paint on the lanes. It made me continually make these jerky micro corrections to stay in the lane.
About a minute in, the instructor notices this and says, “You’re doing what everyone does. You’re thinking too much. Look at a point down the road to where you want to go and your hands will take you there.” He basically told me to selectively ignore a lot of information from the situation and follow my instincts. It worked immediately.
Building a simulator to provide all that information would be awfully expensive.
