JLR in bid to cut motion sickness in self-driving cars

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is pioneering software that will reduce motion sickness by adapting the driving style of future autonomous vehicles as part of its efforts towards realising zero accidents and zero congestion.During the first phase of the project, a personalised ‘wellness score' was developed which could reduce the impact of motion sickness by up to 60%. Experts at Jaguar Land Rover's specialist software engineering facility in Shannon have now implemented that score into self-driving software.The intelligent software combines 20,000 real-world and virtually-simulated test miles to calculate a set of parameters for driving dynamics to be rated against. Advanced machine learning then ensures the car can optimise its driving style based on data gathered from every mile driven by the autonomous fleet.This technology can then be used to teach each
