Is it the motion or seeing movement out of your peripheral vision?

  As someone who has experienced both, it is the sudden unexpected movements that cause motion sickness. And if I am tired, my mind cannot coordinate between the movement I see to the movement I feel. And now I realize that in the first case, it is a personality issue where if I am stubborn/stiff/unyielding, I will get annoyed at unexpected movements. I find this to be true also with my wife :D

  Possibly, but not entirely. I can't even spin around in a chair moderately fast for one full rotation without regretting it. Eyes open or closed don't seem to help. In cars it's largely about how much I can see outside, if I'm facing the direction of movement, etc. Usually in common vehicles I do not suffer unless I read/phone/etc. However in a bus-limo thing on a work retreat we all sat sideways.. on windy roads.. I could still see out the big windows, and tried to face my body forward but it was a rough, rough ride regardless. I've never investigated it much, as it's such an awful feeling I have a hard time debugging it.
