NEW YORK: Apple is working on new technology to combat motion sickness in self-driving cars by using virtual reality headsets for passengers to wear.

According to a recently approved patent in the US, the iPhone manufacturer's system is designed to use virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) and a set of sensors to make future robot cars more comfortable to use.
