For me it helps to have as much of a view of the outside as possible. Feeling the wind helps also. If I'm in the back seat looking mostly at the interior of the car, my inner ear senses motion but my eyes tell me I'm stationary. I think those conflicting inputs are the cause of most motion sickness.

Much less of an issue for me when I'm in front looking out the front window.

And it never an issue when your are behind the wheel. In this case nothing can surprise you, because any acceleration or rotation not just predicted by your brain, but directly caused by it.
