 Have you ever closed your eyes inside a car or train and not been able to feel the movement of it?
Have you ever woken up inside an airplane and not immediately known whether you were moving or still?

I personally lack the ability to tell whether or not I'm moving via some direct sense and have to rely on looking and listening

I do have a sense of acceleration and deceleration (thanks to tiny hairs inside my ears) but not a sense of objective movement
