This excites me so, so much! I can't really use my phone as a passenger in a car without getting motion sick after 1-2 minutes. This seems like it might be a promising thing to try.
- droopyEyelids 2y agoHave you noticed any correlation between how hungry you are and how fast motion sickness kicks in?
- Shank 2y agoIt’s really interesting you say this. Is this a known correlation? I feel like now that you mention it, it’s incredibly fast if I’m hungry.
- toast0 2y agoI went on a cruise, and had significant (for me) motion sickness that only got better once I ate --- of course, I was avoiding eating because I didn't feel well, so that seems like the wrong choice.
- KolmogorovComp 2y agoIt is a known correlation.
- astrange 2y agoI'm not sure why, but I feel like I only get motion sickness in the back of Priuses. It must be something about their braking curve. I don't sit in enough EVs to tell if they're the same.
- 121789 2y agoTeslas are especially bad for me. I think it’s the rough suspension and fast acceleration/deceleration
- rootusrootus 2y agoThe instant-on power and braking takes some getting used to. For the folks who have trouble mastering it, my recommendation is chill mode. It has a much softer acceleration profile, mostly eliminating the harsh starts you might be experiencing.
- underdeserver 2y agoChill mode is all upside in my book. There's still a ton of power when you need it, it's easier on the tires (and thus your wallet), and you get jerked around less.
- yc-kraln 2y agoToyota's hybrids are the worst. I never get motion sick except as a passenger in any Toyota hybrid
- rootusrootus 2y agoSome people never really learn how to use one-pedal driving, so they end up just going back and forth between accelerating and decelerating. That'll make me motion sick in a hurry, and I bet that is fairly universal (among people prone to motion sickness in cars, that is). So in that sense, any EV or hybrid is potentially a problem, depending on the driver.

- teekert 2y agoAh yes, I never get motion sick, except for when I'm in the car with just such a driver: A person with sine-foot.
- yurishimo 2y agoThis is giving me flashbacks to the time I took an uber home from the airport in Dallas. 25 minutes of an older gentlemen (65ish) just modulating between gas pedal and brake pedal the entire time. It was awful and I wish I wasn't such a coward at the time and had told him after he dropped me off.
- Reubachi 2y agoTangential and very late to the thread, but, In the racing/track world, any time spent off the accelrator or brake is literally leaving time on the table. The idea being; you are going at 10/10 until the exact point you know you need to go 4/10 at an apex and apply full braking. Then getting right back up to 10/10. Similarly, I notice that i do a lot of this "sine wave" driving (IE , gas, brake, gas brake) when I'm heavily loaded with passengers or on a curvy road where I don't quite know the ratios. So I'm often not expecting to need to brake so heavily but, for safeety of course, need to.
- yurishimo 2y agoYea, I get it for driving on track, but not on the highway just managing space between you and the car in front. Re: your curvy road, I would say at that point you might just be driving too fast for the load in your vehicle. When passengers are onboard, a smooth ride will beat everything 99% of the time. If I have to suddenly break for a sharp corner, then I apologize and slow down so it doesn't happen again.
- kylehotchkiss 2y agoI suspect most people's interaction with Prius' are Uber rides. Maybe Uber drivers just get bad habits from the platform incentives (drive fast = get more rides)
- astrange 2y agoWell, I definitely sit in the back mostly in Uber rides and that's supposed to matter somehow.
- ErigmolCt 2y agoI have not. For me, it does not matter. The ride begins - the motion sickness kicks in
- danaris 2y agoI regularly drive two family members around—one gets motion sick much faster and more frequently when hungry, while the other gets motion sick the same either way. Does make me wonder what the difference is there.
- deinonychus 2y agoYes, sort of. I don’t necessarily have to feel hungry but if I’m on an empty stomach or just haven’t eaten in a while, the odds I get motion sickness are much higher. If I’m riding somewhere to go get dinner, I have to sit in the front passenger seat. After dinner with a full belly? Throw me in the back and I’ll be fine.
- ErigmolCt 2y agoI have motion sickness... It's so hard to movearound for me and I am still not able to find what works best for me

- nulld3v 2y agoA similar app that's on Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.kinestop https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid... Unsure if it actually works though, my personal test results are mixed.
- jncfhnb 2y agoVaguely related anecdote. I used to get bad nausea from aggressive physic-y VR games. But I heard people claim it can be grinded through. So I did that, and they were right. I can do VR games without needed to vomit although it’s still uncomfortable. However… I am now much more sensitive to non VR motion sickness. :|
- tashoecraft 2y agoI played games my whole life and was shocked I had near instant VR motion sickness in sim racing. Can confirm it can be grinded through, recognize the feelings and stop immediately.
- cathalc 2y agoVery similar experience. My instinct would be to fight the sickness and push through, but in reality you need to stop immediately and try again in a few hours. Your tolerance tends to build exponentially!
- sumtechguy 2y agoI have had good luck with just closing one eye. But that is very tiring to do for long periods.
