A car and the brain do not "idle" in the same manner. But since we're probably less than a decade away from cars that drive by themselves, you might want to find a different analogy soon.
The brain works in the same way.
It can well be into an unconscious dream but UNTIL the I decide to make it move nothing really happen.
So it is the I that decide not the brain.

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
