Google Announces Android Feature to Help Reduce Motion Sickness in Cars

Google has announced a new Android feature called Motion Assist, designed to help users feel less motion sickness while using their phones in a car.

The feature targets discomfort that can arise when passengers look at a phone during a journey. Its stated aim is to reduce that feeling, rather than eliminate it entirely.

Motion Assist brings a travel-focused addition to Android, with an emphasis on making phone use more comfortable for people susceptible to motion sickness.

Details about how the feature works, which devices will support it and when it will become available were not provided in the announcement summary.
