If only they would feel that way too. I assure you almost nobody driving a car feels like that. Hell, a ton of people even fall asleep while driving, that is how non-stressful and relaxing it can be. People treat cars like they are toys, not understand what they do (but thinking they do), that is a core issue.

People can fall asleep with artillery shells blowning up beside them.

Just because it can be normalized doesn't mean it's not stressful.

I don't think getting used to it is the same as it not being stressful. People can get used to anything.
