...motion sickness is not always what it seems, how do you not know that you have low level carbon monoxide poisoning from breathing in car fumes?
As a driver you may be that bit more alert with a road to concentrate on, as a passenger you might just be not able to fence off the symptoms - feeling sick, failing vision etc.
The reason I say this is that a Tesla has the best air-con, the auto-pilot and no emissions, so 'sickness' could be nothing to do with 'motion sickness'.
- tylerhou 9y agoUnless your exhaust feeds directly into your car or are driving inside, it's unlikely that you can get low level carbon monoxide poisoning in a modern car.
- masklinn 9y agoIt's not merely unlikely it's completely nonsensical. You don't get motion sickness in nose-to-tail traffic jams where gas poisoning could actually be an issue. Furthermore the average passenger car produces 20 times more CO2 (by weight) than CO (the ratio is even more skewed for diesel cars).
