The Vision Pro violates 27602 California Vehicle Code and loosely meets the definition of an electronic wireless communications device and therefore may fall under California’s ban under 23123.5 VC.

Not one accident yet and the govenoment is ready to step in...Yet nothing can be done to prevent GUNS deaths in this country. I hate this place!
Not my assertion at all. You wrote that assertion.
If I’d written it, it would be more along the lines of, “the difference between reckless and safe driving can be determined by inappropriate eyewear and actions and other parameters”
The and is important because it’s not simply one or the other. You’re right about luck though.
Other people are focusing on that the car doesn't has self driving function but they missed the point.
The point is that you have a responsibility to drive safely when on the road and not cause any danger to other road users.
You can go ahead at get yourself expose to any danger you want but don't bring others in because of your irresponsibility.
Over on the android forums, they're claiming it's an Apple user. Has anyone been able to verify this? Because if it's true, it makes ALL of us look bad.
The device is not the violator, the person using the device is the violator.
Whether this was a “goofy” video for TikTok, or not, this was ****ing stupid. Despite what Elon Musk would like you to believe, Tesla cars cannot fully drive themselves, and you should always, always be paying attention to your surroundings. If not for yourself then, for all the other people on the road. What this person did was, if nothing else, extremely selfish. Then again, I shouldn’t expect much more from a Cybertruck owner.

I expect a lawsuit against Apple if someone gets injured or killed by a driver wearing a AVP. They’ll probably argue that the AVP should have onboard sensors that can detect movement in a confined space like a vehicle and become nonfunctional. I know it’s common sense not to wear something as distracting as the AVP while you’re driving, but as we all know there are a lot of people in the US who have a serious deficiency when it comes to common sense.
If you’re lucky, one day you’ll grow old too… 😉
Tbf the guy is driving a Tesla CyberTruck. I'm not surprised in the slightest that he isn't making a wise decision. Everytime I see it, my mind has to tell myself it isn't a mini garbage truck
FREEDOM TO HELL!!!
These thugs deserved to be punished for reckless driving and negligence. I hope other country’s law enforcement can step up quickly and stamp out these kind of activities with maximum fine possible and mandatory license cancellation. We are talking about direct obstruction of your view here. I don’t care how good the vision pro pass through is or whatever claim Apple would put out later. Stamp them out immediately.

Thanks for replying instead of just smacking disagree.
Gotta say you’re all over the place with the opinion of the cyber truck. Kind of supports what I was saying.
Clearly what I said was a generalization. And also some people clearly need trucks.
As long as you’re not one of those jerks with an unnecessarily loud car in a quiet neighborhood, or blowing black smoke to show how much you really need to accelerate at this stop light, I don’t much care.
Ha well I do need a car because of the way the United States has been designed around them. I need to carry more people than a motorcycle, and motorcycles are inherently less safe. I did test drive a Smart Car. It wasn’t so smart. I have the smallest, most practical car I can.
If I needed a truck I would buy a truck. Most of the trucks I see have an empty bed and one bad driver in the driver’s seat.
Obviously that’s a generalization. As I said, cars bring out the worst in so many of us. Me included, when I’m in it dealing with other drivers.
Ha and for the record I did not buy Apple Vision Pro (TM) but I do have a “Pro” iPhone and a “Pro” MacBook that I need as much or more as the car. I didn’t get the base model of those because I do need the upgraded specs.
There are far more of them doing good things every single day than bad things. Your beef isn't with humans. It's with the media. They rarely write about the former, and constantly write about the latter. It distorts the truth.

Yes. Because ICE owners never do dumb things. How many people get behind the wheel of their car every year and kill someone because they were drunk again? And how many of them were driving ICE cars?
Sigh.
