Tesla owner is pulled over by cops for driving down the highway while wearing new Apple Vision computer glasses

Apple’s $3,500 Vision Pro hit shelves Friday, and one user shared a video about what not to do while wearing the new technology: driving hands-free in a Tesla.

A decision where he saw blue lights in his vision.

On Friday, the same day the virtual reality headset was released, a user named Dante posted a video on X – formerly known as Twitter – of himself driving a Tesla while wearing the new technology.

The video shows him wearing gray pants and a black long-sleeved shirt while driving down a highway in an unknown location with the Apple Vision Pro in front of his eyes.

At one point, both hands are off the wheel and it appears as if he is touching a screen that is only visible on the virtual headset.

The 25-second clip posted to Twitter jumps towards him being pulled over by police. Dante sits in a parking lot with the police car with its lights on behind him.

It is not known where he was driving and which police department stopped him. His Twitter account states that he lives in Palo Alto, California.

The safety information page for Apple Vision Pro on the company website explicitly prohibits use of the headset while driving.

“Never use Apple Vision Pro while operating a moving vehicle, bicycle, heavy machinery, or in other situations that require attention to safety,” the website says.

The headset was launched in September alongside the iPhone 15 family. It’s more than five times the price of the rival Meta Quest 3, but Apple sold out pre-orders for the device on January 19 – with 200,000 units reserved.

While the headset starts at almost $3,500, customers can purchase upgrades like storage and prescription attachments for $149.

It runs on VisionOS, which Apple is touting as “the world’s first spatial operating system.”

Apple calls it ‘spatial computing’ because it combines content with the space around you.

Spatial computing is a way of describing the intersection between the physical world around us and a virtual world manufactured by technology, while allowing humans and machines to manipulate objects and spaces harmoniously.

Performing these tasks often involves elements of augmented reality (AR) and artificial intelligence.

More than 600 new apps have been designed for the headset and some of the virtual experiences include attending an Alicia Keys recording session, walking a tightrope and petting a dinosaur.

Video shared on social media from the Apple Device shows a person wearing brown pants and a gray sweatshirt using the headphones while typing in the air on a New York City subway.

In San Jose, California, a man wearing white pants and a black shirt recorded himself walking down the street while using headphones. He stopped to point at things only he can see on his screen.

In London, video shows a man in a suit wearing the headset and walking down the street with his robot dog.

A 2016 episode of The Simpsons foretold some scenes of people walking through the streets wearing a virtual reality headset.

In the episode, Mr. Burns hired Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie to play his virtual realty family, which eventually becomes a technology that everyone can access.

A montage shows all The Simpsons characters wearing virtual reality sets as they run into lampposts and fall into holes.

Director Seymour Skinner has a virtual picnic and Homer and Marge lie side by side in bed while virtually kissing.
