Researchers develop new protocol for evaluating motion sickness in driverless cars

What good is a driverless car if riding in it makes you nauseous? Up to one-third of Americans experience motion sickness, according to the National Institutes of Health. In a car, the condition tends to flare when you're a passenger rather than a driver, and when you're engaged in something other than looking out the window reading or using a handheld device, for example.
