Very well reasoned. Appreciate it.

Miata is always the answer. Usually as an enthusiast knee jerk response. But you told us why we say that. In a scientific way. Nice.

There are migraine preventative medications now. She should try that first. As a migraine sufferer myself that would solve a lot of problems beside motion sickness.

That’s what makes Level 3 the most dangerous of all the autonomy levels.  It’s essentially half and half.  

This makes a lot of sense. Riding in cars or in the aisle seat passenger jets I usually do fine, but I get a little queasy in SUVs/trucks and window seats. Ye cannae deny the laws of physics!

I think the motion sickness happening here is due to the owner’s BMW i3 being small, light, short wheelbase, tiny wheels, very little isolation from the road. For most people that’d be no problem, but it sounds like what she needs is a car that rides like it’s on rails. A big Lexus ES or Toyota Avalon Hybrid. Some…

Miata, as always, is the answer here.

Look at Buicks.  They are really underrated cars and tuned for road comfort.

And some people wonder why I want so much to permanently disable AEB on my truck. This is going to be more and more of a thing over the next several years. 

I had been wondering what other vehicles besides Tesla had these problems as study after study showed that owners mostly did not use the advanced features. Now that more people seem to be using them and wanting them, we will see it’s a much bigger problem that we thought. 

Anyone have any further thoughts on what cars are best for motion sickness? I’m not an expert. Wouldn’t a soft suspension where you roll and wallow on bumps be worse? And if one has such extreme motion sickness that they even get sick while driving, is there any vehicle that would help? I have a friend who has this…

I’m surprised it’s taken this long to get coverage, honestly.

Well, none of these make sense until she drives them and sees how she feels. Motion sickness sucks.

I had a 2018 Accord Sport 1.5 and I had some, I feel, unwarranted braking. When it did happen, which wasn’t often, it was whenever I changed lanes (signaled), took an off ramp, or a construction zone with temp lanes or faded lane markers. It never slammed on the brakes hard, but it did make my butthole pucker because…

Tesla is contagious? Interesting to see what happens and what the impacts of all these driver aids will be in the next few years. Will autosteer make drivers worse? Especially for newer drivers who have never driven WITHOUT autosteer. I don’t know. Seems like we should have either full driver engaged (i.e., no partial…

Excellent point.

They need a streaming service, period. I would happily pay an F1TV-equivalent price for a full season of IndyCar coverage devoid of commercials and DVR cutoffs when the broadcast runs longer than the allotted time.  Their network coverage is infuriating at times.

They need a streaming service season recap like F1. That would hook people.

Thanks for your thoughtful and logical comment.   I feel like to many people want to file Aziz with Weinstein and other truly horrific people.   He fucked up but he isn’t a monster 

I still agree with Jessica Valenti that Ansari’s story is probably the most important of the Me Too era. Because I don’t think he’s a bad person, and I don’t think that should be the takeaway from what happened. I think this is the one case where the main thing, the most important thing, is how what happened is…
