I've seen that before in reference to flying planes and I assume it's true of driving cars.
Do you know the/an authoritative for this topic?

: ) Sure but many jokes are real. And the saccades are not really the problem with biking, but the attention and the tendency to pay more attention to internal thoughts more distant from sensory streams than the immediate content of the sensory streams. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saccade
It's a joke - the real world is generally continuous at the scales of our perceptions, but our perceptions can make errors like not seeing a car off to the side then suddenly becoming aware of it and swerving or screeching to a halt. I think it comes under the rubric of "if you took calculus and then pay attention to your own life."
