I can understand that you dont have to make physical effort to feel tired, because I work as a computer programmer and I feel tired after making mental effort, but this effort seems way bigger than the one required to drive, yet, after 4,5 hours of driving I feel way more exhausted than after 8,10 hours of coding.

Lay person here, but I call it decision fatigue. You have to be at this constant state of alertness assuming you’re a good driver. I work in corrections (think jail guard) and I believe it is a definite syndrome that affects me and my coworkers. You get worn out from the constant vigilance and anticipation, trying to predict what will come next.
