Older Drivers’ Motion and Simulator Sickness before and after Automated Vehicle Exposure

Older drivers desire independence in mobility, and automated vehicles hold plausible opportunities to realize this goal. Motion sickness (automated shuttle exposure) or simulator driving may affect acceptance of these technologies. This study investigated the onset motion older (mean age = 74.29, SD 5.96; female 54%) after exposure an assessed sex as determinants and/or sickness. Using a repeated measures design, 104 were randomly allocated simulator. Baseline, well post exposures, measured using Sickness Assessment Questionnaire (domains: sweatiness, queasiness, dizziness, nauseousness). who exposed show statistically significant increase symptoms across four domains compared same group being tested shuttle. No differences detected within groups no participants dropped out due The for continued technologies, long protocols are used properly.
