I would say any activity that demands focus would have the same pattern, anyone who has driven a car, rode a bike, etc. should be able to tell that it takes a while for you to get into focused mode if you let it drift even for a short while.

It's much more pronounced if you've ever raced a car on a track, rode a fast bike on tricky paths, or even go-karts, if your mind wander for a split second it takes a few seconds of active focusing to get back to the baseline where you enter "flow" again with the activity.

Expecting drivers who let a machine control their machine, getting out of the control feedback loop, to be able to regain focused control over split second decisions is just absurd to me.
