Queasy from driving
Carsick describes the nausea and discomfort some people feel while riding in a car, caused by the disconnect between what the eyes see and what the inner ear senses.
Reading or looking at screens often makes it worse.
I get carsick if I sit in the back seat.
Similar terms exist for other vehicles: seasick, airsick.
