Videos shared on social media showing Tesla drivers in Autopilot mode wearing Apple's Vision Pro headset have resulted in federal transportation bodies issuing warnings. However, these videos, even though rare, have raised issues of the hazards associated with using virtual reality headsets when driving.

Act or Received behavior?

Though some of the videos look set up with obvious signs that someone else than the driver is shooting, others portray almost senseless actions. Although staged content is possible, the transportation officials stressed that full engagement with the driving task must be kept when such systems are in operation.

Content Creation or Risky Business?

People like Dante Lentini, who recorded themselves with the Vision Pro Headset while driving the Tesla and posted the video, claim that their act is just for content creation. It was Lentini who mentioned that the use of a headset and any apparent distractions was only for a short time and did not represent any real danger. On the other hand, federal agencies discourage distracted driving behavior, pointing out the facts of deaths and injuries from the cases last year.

Safety Concerns and Legal Aspects

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is emphasizing that there are no fully autonomous vehicles for sale now. Hence, drivers should be active and take in their hands the control of the vehicles. Tesla has not yet responded to inquiries about this issue, whereas Apple has chosen not to address the particular videos in question but has issued safety recommendations concerning the correct use of the Vision Pro headset.

However, some videos of Tesla drivers wearing Apple’s Vision Pro headset might be a case of just being humorous or content creation but federal transportation officials emphasize the serious safety hazards of distracted driving. Driving in a car with cutting-edge technologies like Autopilot mode requires drivers to put safety first and be alert as technology advances.
