May be actually getting better over time. A lot of the screen-related car sickness goes away with the refresh rate bumped up to 120Hz. These are slowly arriving to not-completely-gaming laptops fortunately.

That's interesting. I wonder if that's the same phenomenon that causes VR sickness with low refresh rates

Car sickness happens when reading a book as well. It's your inner ear being out of sync with what you are witnessing. Which is why looking out the front window helps.

There's more than one reason for the sickness to kick in. It can happen with a book, but for some people a slow refresh rate -vs- book or high refresh rate makes a massive difference.

It's one of the reasons: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_reality_sickness
