Explained in plain English

Who gets motion sick in EVs?

Motion sickness susceptibility varies widely among people. Factors like genetics, previous experiences, and even what you've eaten can play a role. While the story mentions a neurologist seeing patients, it's not everyone who experiences this. Children and those prone to travel sickness are often more vulnerable to the sensory mismatches in EVs.
