I assume you don't mean black out literally...

Otherwise what you're describing is Automaticity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automaticity

Yes not literal black out, more like a time black out. Usually I'm thinking about something, and by the time I finish thinking about that particular subject more time than expected has passed (usually it feels like one minute), and I don't remember driving or walking

"Black out" is always shorthand for "not recording memories." It's not necessarily dangerous, it just means the mind is not recording events to long term storage.
