To me, driving the car is boring, unless it is an interesting or challenging road (which most of the time, especially for work commutes, it isn't). You'd be watching videos or the news, reading, sleeping, watching the scenery, chatting in person or electronically, playing video games, dictating reports, writing a novel, etc. etc. You could even do some resistance training exercises. Driving is mostly a time waster.
