Tesla Owners Spotted “Driving” with Apple’s $3,500 AR/VR Headset
In a shocking turn of events, several Tesla owners have been caught wearing Apple’s latest AR/VR headset, known as the Apple Vision Pro, while operating their vehicles. Despite Apple’s insistence on calling it a spatial computer, it is clear that these individuals are using the device as a headset or goggles. This dangerous behavior has raised concerns among both Tesla and Apple enthusiasts.
On February 3, a Tesla Model Y owner decided to embrace the future by using Tesla’s self-driving (FSD) mode while wearing the Apple Vision Pro. Unfortunately, this reckless act resulted in the driver being pulled over by the police. Thankfully, no accidents occurred, but the incident serves as a stark reminder of the potential dangers of using such devices while driving.
Just a day later, another video went viral on X, showing a person “driving” a Cybertruck while wearing the Apple Vision Pro. The video is too brief to determine the outcome, but it is clear that this behavior is being widely shared and discussed on social media platforms. The risks associated with this trend are alarming, and it is crucial for both Tesla and Apple to address this issue promptly.
Despite the negative attention, some individuals have found positive experiences with these brands. X user @ianzelbo, for example, has shared videos of their positive experience ordering a Tesla from the official website. While there may be initial excitement surrounding these high-tech devices, it is important to remember that they ultimately offer similar functionalities to existing smart devices.
Another Twitter user, @LinusEkenstam, demonstrated how the Apple Vision Pro can be used to lock and unlock a Tesla car. While this may seem like a convenient feature, it begs the question of why one would wear this device on their head just to remove it before driving. The practicality of such actions is questionable, and it is crucial for users to prioritize safety over novelty.
Apple’s marketing, PR, and legal departments are likely not thrilled about the negative publicity surrounding their product. The potential risks associated with using the Apple Vision Pro while operating a 6,799 lbs. Cybertruck at high speeds are truly terrifying. A technical failure in either Tesla’s FSD software or Apple’s screen could have catastrophic consequences on the road.
The power and speed of the Cybertruck further emphasize the need for responsible usage. With three electric motors capable of producing 845 horsepower and reaching 0 to 60 mph in just 2.6 seconds, this vehicle can become a dangerous weapon if not operated with caution. It is crucial for Tesla owners to prioritize safety and avoid engaging in risky behaviors that may put themselves and others at risk.
