Mitigating car sickness (CS) or motion sickness is a key adoption challenge that needs to be solved to realize the future that autonomous vehicles promise. It is known that while drivers of vehicles do not get CS, passengers often do. A driver can anticipate the vehicle motion as they are in control of it, and can take corrective actions which ensure they do not get CS. In autonomous vehicles there will be no drivers, and all passengers will be susceptible to CS. Prior work has shown that haptic stimuli (i.e., vibrations) can be used to provide vehicle motion information to passengers to reduce CS. However, there have been limited investigations of this stimuli being provided to passengers preemptively (i.e., in anticipation of vehicle motion), just like a driver. This paper presents the results from a pilot study (6 participants) investigating the efficacy of preemptively triggered haptic stimuli in reducing CS. Unlike prior research, passenger task performance is also investigated in this study to determine if there is any influence on task performance due to preemptive haptic stimuli. The results from the pilot study show that preemptively triggered haptic stimuli can help reduce CS while having no negative effects on task performance.
