Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Tesla owners told not to wear Apple virtual reality headsets while
driving
While some companies are testing self-driving or auto-driving vehicles
(Level 4 or 5), no such vehicles are commercially available in the US as of
January 2024. Even the Tesla Model 3, which is equipped with driving assistance
features like adaptive cruise control and lane centering, requires a licensed
driver to be attentive and ready to take over driving at any moment. So, the
driver of the vehicle should not be engaged in any type of artificial reality, such
as augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), extended reality (XR), or
mixed reality (MR). For example, driving with the recently launched Apple
Vision Pro, a mixed-reality headset that blends digital content and apps into
the wearer’s physical space, is not allowed even in the driving assistance
mode. How soon can drivers explore Metaverse or play VR games while sitting in
the driver’s seat? That may be the time when a driver is no longer called a
driver.
Read the article and learn about the limitations of assisted driving.
