As electric vehicles quietly reshape the world's roads, an unexpected friction has emerged between human biology and machine design: passengers are getting sick. Researchers at Tsinghua University are investigating why the unique dynamics of EVs—their instant torque, regenerative braking, and screen-saturated cabins—conspire to disorient the human nervous system. The work is a reminder that progress, however clean and efficient, must still answer to the ancient rhythms of the body.
