Transport Chief Warns as Tesla Driver Films AR Headset Stunt
February 6, 2024
US Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg warns against dangerous driving after a video shows a Tesla driver wearing an Apple Vision Pro AR/VR headset.
The video, deemed a 'skit' by creator Dante Lentini, involved driving with the headset for 30-40 seconds without Tesla's Autopilot engaged, raising safety concerns.
Despite staged elements like a fake arrest, the act highlights risks as pre-orders for the headset approach 200,000 units, increasing the likelihood of misuse while driving.
Apple's Vision Pro headset, now launched, supports older Intel-based Macs but offers a compromised experience with a 3K resolution cap and requires macOS 14 Sonoma or newer.
Users of older Intel Macs face limitations and should weigh these against the full capabilities offered to Apple Silicon-powered Macs before purchasing the AR/VR headset.
