What is the cause of car sickness in chapter 8?

The cause of car sickness in chapter 8 is due to a mismatch between the vestibular system (inner ear) and visual clues. The vestibular system senses movement, while the visual system interprets the visual cues. When the brain receives conflicting information from these two systems, it can lead to motion sickness. For example, if a person is sitting in a stationary car, but looking out the window at moving objects, this can cause motion sickness. Similarly, if a person is in a moving car, but looking at a stationary object, this can also cause motion sickness.
