It is intelligent enough to learn how to operate a car... You are identifying "subconscious" as in "I did it without minding it" with "subconscious" as a structured personality inside your mind with autonomous will and reasoning. When you learn to do something physical, like driving or playing the piano, you start with a strong conscious focus in what you're doing, until you have it automated and, once you have it totally mastered, you send it to the background. That's a very different story from a whole "you", different from the "regular you", thinking rationally inside your mind and making all the things that you don't feel you're doing with your full attention. And yes, there are unconscious processes that influence behaviour, only they're not organized the same way the conscious part is. At least, that's the conclusion I take from what I've read on the subject. Are modern researchers right and Freud wrong? I tend to think so, because they have a hundred years more evidence.
