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

• A user named Dante posted a video of himself getting pulled over for driving a Tesla while wearing the new Apple Vision Pro glasses
• Dante posted the video on Friday, the same day as the $3,500 headsets release
• Apple explicitly warns against driving while wearing the glasses on its safety information page

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

A decision that found himself seeing blue – lights – in his vision. 

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

The video shows him wearing gray pants and a black long-sleeve shirt as he drives down a highway in an unknown location with the Apple Vision Pro covering his eyes.

At one point, both of his hands are off the wheel and he appears to be touching a screen that is only visible on the virtual headset.

The 25-second clip posted on Twitter, jumps to him getting pulled over by police. Dante is sitting in a parking lot as the cop car with its lights on behind him.

It is unknown where he was driving or what police department pulled him over. His Twitter account says he lives in Palo Alto, California.

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

‘Never use Apple Vision Pro while operating a moving vehicle, bicycle, heavy machinery, or in any other situations requiring attention to safety,’ said the website.

The headset launched alongside the iPhone 15 family in September. It is over five times as expensive as the rival Meta Quest 3, but Apple sold out pre-orders for the device on January 19 – 200,000 units were reserved.

While the headset starts at nearly $3,500, customers can purchase upgrades like storage and $149 prescription inserts. 

It runs on VisionOS, which Apple touts as ‘the world’s first spatial operating system.’

Apple calls it ‘spatial computing’ because it blends content into the space around you.

Spatial computing is a way to describe the intersection between the physical world around us and a virtual world fabricated by technology while enabling humans and machines to harmoniously manipulate objects and spaces.

Accomplishing these tasks often incorporates elements of augmented reality (AR) and artificial intelligence.

There are more than 600 new apps 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 of the Apple Device show one person wearing tan pants and a gray sweatshirt using the headset sitting on a New York City subway car typing in the air.

In San Jose, California, a man wearing white pants and a black shirt was recording walking in the street while using the headset, stopping 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 his robotic dog on the street. 

An episode of The Simpsons from 2016 predicted some of the scenes of people walking the streets wearing virtual reality headsets.

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

A montage shows all The Simpsons characters wearing virtual reality sets as they walk into lamp posts and fall into potholes.

Principal Seymour Skinner has a virtual picnic and Homer and Marge lay side-by-side in bed as they virtually kiss each other.
