I’m not sure if it’s a biology question, but how do people just know they’re going to hit something if they don’t veer a little to the left or the right without actually seeing it? Like not hitting a curb you can’t see but you park close to it.

I’ve heard a term for this a long time ago – kinesthetic projection. It’s basically the real-life version of that fantasy trope that “your sword is the extension of your arm”. Basically, humans are remarkably good at using tools, and we effectively extend (project) our understanding of how we control and are aware of our bodies (kinesthesis). This is acquired for each tool through practice and repetition.
