Besides, huge energy resources demand and lack of new energy resources exploration cause energy resources shortage. In order to solve these problems, the narrow and tilting vehicle (NTV) is developed. The driving environment of NTV is different from other cars. In order to explore the effect of different driving environment on drivers, the research uses a narrow and tilting vehicle simulator to simulate driving tasks. The results show that tilting auxiliary system affects drivers’ physiological uncomfort level. Besides, drivers’ physiological uncomfort makes driving proformance poorer. When tilt angle is small, the nausea scale scores correlates with total time of driving tasks. When tilt angle is large, the nausea and oculomotor scale scores correlate with car collision and deflection.
