Motion sickness is usually the result of your eyes seeing different motion than your body is feeling. I still get motion sick if I'm in the back seat of a car where I can't see the road. Same with airplanes. I do pretty good with trains and buses as long as I can watch the motion outside the window.
The reverse makes me sick too, when I'm sitting still and my eye's are trying to track movement, such as shaky video clips. 30 seconds of that is enough to make me barf. Years ago we frequently used microfiche to look up parts manuals, and I would often get sick using those things too.
So yeah, if I can't see where I'm going in an autonomous car, there better be some barf bags or Dramamine.
