So, someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but the very premise of motor skill coordination resides in the cerebellum, and is not cerebral.
This means that training muscle memory for autopilot and cruise control is about conditioning the cerebellum with training. In addition to other involuntary actions like sneezing reflexes, smooth muscle peristalisis and heart/lung functions, other voluntary functions like touch typing, hand writing and walking up and down stairs, walking in general, riding a bike, swimming the doggy paddle and all the other aspects of memorized, or repetitive movement, both fine and gross, get recorded into the cerebellum, in both the short term and for the long term.
This is why people can be born without one, but it's a severe impairment. I could be slightly wrong in how I'm relating the principles here, but I think that just about sums it up.
