Motion Assist taps into your device\u2019s accelerometer and gyroscope to place dots around the periphery of the display that move in harmony with the motion of the car. When the car turns right, the dots sweep across the screen to the left; when the car brakes, the dots slide forward.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">I\u2019m here to tell you that this tech really works. As an avid vanlifer, I\u2019m often working on my MacBook and iPhone from the passenger seat while we drive to the next destination. But that\u2019s only possible by activating the anti-nausea feature, otherwise I can\u2019t stomach it.

The feature can be configured to turn on automatically when it detects a moving vehicle, or it can be quickly toggled through a tile in your Quick Settings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">The feature hasn\u2019t arrived yet on a pair of Pixel devices we tested.
