How to cope with extremely shitty memory?

I know this is embarrassing to admit but I can't drive due to this memory problem. Just can't get myself to give a fuck or even focus on the road because I'm terrified I might black out and wreck the car.

Most people aren't conscious when they drive though, it becomes somewhat instinctual/automatic for them.
