Imagine not wearing a distracting device while you are in traffic.

This person should lose their licence.

That will definitely prevent them from driving.

In this case, I think the stupidity is also sufficient to confiscate the vehicle in some jurisdictions.

I'm all for it.

That open mouth... We're heading full speed into K.Laumer's "Cocoon".

I wonder how that image is generated? The Cybertruck doesn’t have FSD yet. I also read that Apple was blocking the AVP from working when it detected you were moving fast. That they had to make special provisions to allow the AVP to work on planes.

So you can't use it as a backseat passenger to watch movies?

Possibly, thanks to assholes as depicted in that video (which may be fictional). Apple does not want the liability or reputational damage from enabling someone driving a car and getting into a wreck, even if that prevents some other uses.

FYI - I don’t know what the rules are that they put into place and what I read was based on comments from some early demos that Apple was giving so it remains to be seen what you actually can and cannot do while wearing one. I’m sure that this will start to come out now that people are using these in the field.

I could see a driving mode being useful since you could do things with nothing but your eyes leaving your hands free.

We already have countless studies that talking on your phone while driving is really bad for reaction times and accident rates, even in hands-free setups. I can only imagine who much worse these numbers will look if you add distractions for your eyes to the mix.

Because you don't need your eyes when driving? The thought of people driving around and multi tasking with their AR goggles gives me the heebie-jeebies.
Re:Apple fixes zero-day bug in Apple Vision Pro that 'may ha... by hparadiz on Sunday February 04, 2024 @05:56PM (#39255390)
As opposed to looking at a map?

It's always something with you folks.

Re:Apple fixes zero-day bug in Apple Vision Pro that 'may ha... by jacquesm on Monday February 05, 2024 @12:45AM (#39257762)
You're not supposed to be looking at a map while driving. Eyes on the road.
Re:Apple fixes zero-day bug in Apple Vision Pro that 'may ha... by HeatrayEnjoyer on Monday February 05, 2024 @06:55AM (#39260255)
You look at a map before leaving... not while you're driving. So you try to navigate and drive at the same time!?
Re:Apple fixes zero-day bug in Apple Vision Pro that 'may ha... by kramerger on Sunday February 04, 2024 @03:32PM (#39254127)
That should be illegal. It removes a huge part of your field of vision.

Not all AR devices are something you wear. Lots of cars have a heads up display which is basically projecting information onto the windshield.

There's a huge difference between camera pass-through and some transparent reflections on the glass that you can dodge away from.
Re:Apple fixes zero-day bug in Apple Vision Pro that 'may ha... by criddell on Monday February 05, 2024 @06:52AM (#39260231)
For sure.

I’d just hate for AR to become synonymous with head mounted displays instead of a more general definition.
