1. A system comprising: (3) (2)

a motion sickness mitigation device (MSMD) integrated into a vehicle and configured to generate electrical stimulation pulses upon actuation; and

a controller operatively connected to the MSMD, wherein the controller is configured to: obtain signals indicative of a potential motion sickness condition;

determine whether a motion sickness condition exists based on the signals; and

in response to determining that a motion sickness condition exists, actuate the MSMD,

wherein the vehicle comprises an automobile and wherein the MSMD is integrated into a face plate of an interior door panel.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the MSMD comprises electrical stimulation adjustment buttons configured to adjust at least one of: an intensity level of the electrical stimulation pulses and a frequency of the electrical stimulation pulses. (0)

6. A system comprising: (0) (3)

a motion sickness mitigation device (MSMD) integrated into a vehicle and configured to generate electrical stimulation pulses upon actuation;

one or more motion sickness detectors configured to generate signals indicative of a potential motion sickness condition; and

a controller operatively connected the MSMD and to the one or more motion sickness detectors, wherein the controller is configured to: obtain signals indicative of the potential motion sickness condition;

determine whether a motion sickness condition exists based on the signals; and

in response to determining that a motion sickness condition exists, actuate the MSMD,

wherein the vehicle comprises an automobile and wherein the MSMD is integrated into a face plate of an interior door panel.
