Uber has revealed plans to combat car sickness in driverless cars, unveiling a system of moving seats and blasts of air conditioning that it hopes will stop passengers throwing up in the back of its robot vehicles.

A pitfall of autonomous car technology is that it can cause severe motion sickness, since passengers can often fail to anticipate the movements of the self-driving technology.

If the ride-sharing app hopes to take driverless technology into the mainstream, it needs to install a system to ensure that passengers don’t turn green while in transit, especially given its popularity at late nights and weekends.

A patent published this month details the ride-sharing app’s backseat sickness cure, which features vibrating seats, powerful blasts of air conditioning and special jingles and light systems that can prepare passengers for any sudden movement.

Motors underneath a seat will flip it backwards to absorb the shock of braking and allow it to roll, dependent on the direction the car is turning - all while blasting them with air conditioning to replicate the sensation of movement.
