It's an accessibility feature.


Settings>Accessibility>Motion.

Show Vehicle Motion Cues.


If it's turned on, you'll notice the dots move when you're in a moving vehicle. This is designed to give your brain cues to prevent motion sickness when you're in a moving vehicle and staring at your phone in stead of looking up at the horizon.


My wife uses it. Says it works wonders. I'm rarely in a vehicle when I'm not the driver.
