Summary

Whether on a business trip, on the way to and from work or driving taking a vacation, mobility, especially in passenger cars, takes up a significant portion of our everyday life. It is increasingly important to use the time we spend on the road in a meaningful way – in the autonomous vehicles of the future and in our present day travel. One of the major adverse factors is motion sickness. On long car journeys, few people are immune from motion sickness when seated in the back or front passenger seat. A sense of dizziness and motion sickness can preclude any attempt to enjoy the ride or work while still on the road.
