Motion sickness is a common and complex syndrome. Some individuals are much more susceptible and develop symptoms with minimal provocation, while others are seemingly immune and suffer not at all despite extreme provocation. New mobility scenarios are increasing the likelihood of motion sickness, as AV occupants are much more likely to be focusing attention on reading inside the car rather than looking outside, so there’s a great deal of research under way into effective countermeasures. This week’s in-depth looks at a variety of academic and industry-based development efforts.
