“Greater sickness in EVs can be attributed to a lack of previous experience, as both a driver and as a passenger, where the brain lacks accuracy in estimating the motion forces because it relies on previous experience in other types of cars,” William Emond, a PhD student researching car sickness told The Guardian.
“When discovering a new motion environment, the brain needs to habituate because there is no knowledge of previous experience in such a context. This is, for example, why almost everyone becomes sick in zero-gravity environments,” he explained.

This is why the same thing can happen watching 3D movies or on those rides that simulate motion. In the movie/game example, your eyes may focus on a paralax that suggests something is a long way away or very close, but you’re focused on a screen at a fixed distance. And with rides, the ride moves in synch with the movie you’re watching.
They had to close the Back to the Future ride when it first opened. The movement was not in synch with the movie and people were getting sick.
I took a ride in Model S, and of course the driver had to do the ludicrous mode thing. I had just had lunch and the first time he accelerated I almost lost said lunch. It’s disconcerting at first because of the lack of sound. Normally hard acceleration is accompanied by the sound of the engine doing its thing, not silence.
Look outside when riding instead of playing with your stupid phones
Generally it is I am too hot and had my head down reading.
Yes, we took an EV Uber from train station to home on a 1 hour drive. My wife was very motion sick when we arrived and swore that she would never get in another one.
Liked car rides when a kid great for naps to power up.
Brushless motor.
They are at least 3 times heavier that gas powered cars. They’re too heavy
You’re going around a turn and expect to move differently
I see them rolling stoops all the time especially the bvery heavy trucks
No data yet on how they’re tearing up roads and how the repairs will be bead for the environment because people want these to work whether they do or not.
Airlines still have airsickness bags in every seat, even though I have never seen anyone get airsick on a commercial airline flight. The general population has gotten used to the sensations of flying.
That’s good.
When a car is new, it’s materials give off gasses and that’s where the “New Car Smell” comes from. Some people are allergic................
Even first time flyers have the advantage of better radar and forecasting that directs pilots around areas of significant turbulence.
Or other toxic problems.
Unfortunately, I think airbags are still needed on planes. I needed one on a flight last year. I take some medicine which can make me nauseous, and that, combined with some really choppy turbulence, made me reach for the bag. I think it’s safe to assume that there is one or two people out there like me.
The way around it for us was to set the regen to a low setting until we became masters at handling it, much like getting used to driving a stick-shift so that the passengers aren't lunged from the seat to the dash and back. Now my wife and I drive the EV as smoothly as we drive the gas pickup, even with the regen set high.
Also, A-300’s, DC-10’s, and 747’s seem to ride better than a DC-4.
Yep, auto drive is the worst. But the braking can be bad as well.
Heh. Bicycles, now do bicycles ...
Bullit
