A vestibular conflict perspective on kinetosis risk during different motion patterns in real car driving experiments with obstructed outward view
= 0.125) during maneuvers with rotational amplitudes of standard car settings. In contrast, within the conditions of our experiments different seat directions or minimum vs. maximum rotational amplitudes do not significantly change kinetosis risk. The results are discussed in context of a theoretical framework of vestibular motion cue processing and physiology suggesting compensatory effects of the human vestibular system. Overall, these results provide further insights into the identification of kinetosis critical driving maneuvers with regard to the future development of autonomously driving cars.
