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.

Same reason, albeit less so, that you get tired after riding a horse, combined with the reason you’re tired after a plane trip.
The former is because you’re constantly adjusting your balance. The latter is because you’re stuck in that one sitting position for hours. Meanwhile, programming you probably get out of the chair to take a piss or grab a drink or just adjust your chair a bunch.
