why is driving so exhausting?

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.

It depends **a lot** on the comfort level of the car and type of road. I can drive a 10 hour stint across Europe without major issues in a comfortable and quiet Audi with massage seats. Some years ago I was doing it in a 2008 Civic. It was significantly more exhausting.

Try coding for 10 hours on a wooden bench with noise in your headphones instead of your favorite music and comfy chair.
