It would need to be extremely reliable also. Imagine crossing the road and your vision just randomly freezes. I'd assume it would be so disorienting that you'd immediately lose balance and fall over.

People may get seriously injured if they're actually wearing these things all the time. Even if they're 100% reliable you could imagine someone getting a low battery warning running down stairs to fetch their charing cable only for their vision to shut off as they're running down the stairs...

100% agree. Apple actually says a few times during the setup not to use it outside.

Even if small and light I doubt that they’d ever change that messaging.

Having a safety HUD, like in a fighter jet but on a bike, would be pretty cool. It can warn me about cars I missed, or someone about to open a door, or a turn I'm about to miss.

Or, you know, this being the shitty dystopia we deserve, probably it'd just advertise the nearest McDonald's.
