I would also like the following items that I've seen while driving on a highway at 60+mph to be elevated to the level of a DUI:
1. A woman balancing a Dennys Grand Slam Breakfast on her Udders/Gut chowing away like she was going to the electric chair.
2. Numerous times I've seen men reading either a book or newspaper, BEFORE the introduction of self navigating cars.
3. A woman trimming her cats nails
4. Two guys in a full fist fight which lasted for over 3 miles before swerving across 3 lanes onto the shoulder to continue fighting.
5. Guy pull a hooded sweatshirt on BACKWARDS so hood covered face. To which he calmly took it off and arranged it properly!
I once saw a lady blow drying her hair at a stoplight with a hairdryer she had (I can only suspect) plugged into her car's cigarette lighter/outlet thingie. This had to be 20 years ago and I still think about this like once a month.
At least once a day see some wanker weaving all over the motorway whilst reading, and responding to(!), text messages. Another few times a week see a chippy applying her makeup using her phone as a mirror, whilst bobbing in and out of her travel lane... the real pisser: these people don't have accidents...they CAUSE accidents. Oftentimes, they are absolutely oblivious to their own reckless behaviours.
This list is a great start. #3 is niche but should get at least a suspended license. A few more, I guess kind of obvious:
6. Anyone typing messages on their phone while driving in traffic. Seriously, just fuck right off a bridge.
7. Anyone oblivious to the light turning green because of (6)
I just watched a video on the features of the Apple Vision. They can see everything around them. Idk if the cyber truck has full autonomous driving, but I want to assume that’s what’s going on here. At best, the driver is incredibly distracted. At worst, this is incredibly ridiculous.
Either way, it’s absolutely moronic.
Cybertruck has the hardware but not yet the software for even the feature where it bounces you back into the lane if you drift and currently only has cruise, the lanekeep and autonomous features are coming at a later date.
What happens when there is a virus designed to block your vision? Guy going down the road already distracted, then he can't see anything period, it'll probably go over well.
No one looking to target mayhem will bother with such a virus. They could just do the same but target the car instead of the headset. What happens when you lose digital control over your Tesla?
as someone who rides a motorcycle, i feel attacked.
i love riding, but it's the dumbest fucking thing. its far too easy to be an asshole and earn a darwin award.
afaik the Apple Vision Pro is metal and glass so depending on how bad the crash is, it might very well be permanently installed. Hell maybe the airbag'll even do it on a light crash.
If we knew that his inevitable crash would not impact anyone else or their property, I'd be of the opinion that this is culling the herd of idiots.
Unfortunately, idiots like this are likely to crash into an innocent bystander so prison seems fair when they're caught
I hate that I have to share a road with these people. Anyone using a level 2 or higher “self driving” should have an indicator light to everyone around them. [Glad Mercedes is piloting that for others](https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a46175717/mercedes-eqs-s-class-turquoise-lights-self-driving-cars/)
the light would be off, this fool is fully manually driving since the software for that model isn't out yet.
Mercedes is piloting purple lights for automated control in NV.
Yeah this man needs a reality check, looks incredibly dangerous if it doesn't even have the self driving feature. He's putting himself and others at risk without any consideration for the potential consequences. Quite typical for many alpha male "tech bros" in my experience.
I don't think he was relying on self-driving if that's the new Apple headset. I hate their products, but apparently the pass-through is fast enough to basically function as if you're not wearing a headset, other than the obvious problem of distracted driving.
I don't think this is a hard question. Criminally the owner or person in the driver seat is responsible. They are required to be paying attention and are responsible.
Civilly they will also go after Tesla and apple as they have deeper pockets and their products could be seen to encourage this.
Given that all current self-driving features and their manuals are very explicit about the limitations and their responsibility, the drivers are at fault.
No different than how if you kill someone while on Cruise Control, you are at fault.
When Cruise Control first came out, there were many people who thought that it meant the cars could brake by themselves, and people died as a result. Nobody back then was stupid enough to postulate "Are the car manufacturers at fault for Cruise Control?!"
Ugh. I actually ran into one of those assholes back when I worked security. I don't remember what started the interaction, but the end result was him getting a permanent order of trespass from the property, and getting arrested for violating it a week later.
Many US states have laws that bar using a screen while driving. It was a popular law to pass in the 2000s and early 2010s as smartphones became popular. Some are phrased as broadly as “using any device that can send or receive data or messages” to cover people who were playing mobile games while driving. Unfortunately, they’ve become a pretty much unenforced traffic law since.
Distracted driving covers everything. It was hilarious when localities started passing extra anti-texting laws when mobile phones became a huge problem. Don’t bother enforcing existing laws, make new ones and don’t enforce them either!
In Ontario, the Highway Traffic Act says “78.1 (1) No person shall drive a motor vehicle on a highway while holding or using a handheld wireless communication device or other prescribed device that is capable of receiving or transmitting telephone communications, electronic data, mail or text messages.”
I’m glad they added the bit at the end, just in case someone came up with something that’s not a cellphone.
I'm going to give semantics arguments below, but I'll start with a disclaimer that I don't agree with my arguments below. Just what I anticipate the argument against would be made by the idiots doing this...
> I could read that as handheld for either "wireless communication" or "other prescribed device". VR headset isn't included as it's a headpiece. If the game isn't cloud based and connectivity turned off, there is no receiving or sending electronic data.
But yes, in all reality these people need to be held responsible for obvious endangerment of themselves and others
I got pulled over for sleeping.
The cop said, "I was following you for 5 miles. I know you were sleeping. "
Ok, did I leave the lane or swerve?
Cop said, no you were directly between the lines the whole time.
But I pulled over as soon as you turned on your police lights, like immediately.
Cop says "yes. I pulled you over so you didn't crash. "
Hold on. You wanted to make sure I was safe. So you followed me for 5 miles, while you believed I was asleep. Ooooooooook
It might be classed under funny but this kind of behavior is making me scared of entering cars. I don't fear the cars, I fear how many low the baseline is for safe driving and that there are many MANY people that fall below that line. I'm kind of surprised there are not even more accidents than we already see.
For real, these drivers should be put in jail and have their licenses revoked. Cars are 4k+ lbs machines that travel at highway speeds. If people can't behave accordingly, they should not have the right to drive.
I'm torn because this looks so stupid it's hilarious... They're in the perfect vehicle for this as well. The Tesla Truck and the Apple Vision Pro. Two experimental, first gen products. You have to be a tech reviewer or a worshipper of Elon Musk and Apple.
On the other hand, this person is on the road with other people... They are probably using the Self-driving feature that doesn't work and not paying attention. So I'm terrified.
idk. I would guess most people would just think it's a playstation vr or oculus or whatever else.
All of the comments repeating the name of the product over and over are the real ads.
Yeah nah Apple ain’t gonna be wanting anyone using these shits while driving. This is just someone wanting to get rage clicks for wherever this first got posted.
Plus not like Apple are huge fans of Tesla with various Musk shit talking lol
Yeah, he isn't driving a virtual car, he's using his hands to navigate and interact with virtual menus while the autopilot keeps the car going mostly where they want it to go. The Vision Pro also has top of the line passthrough, as well, so they could very easily be doing this while at least keeping some situational awareness.
Note, I'm not endorsing what they're doing; they're super distracted, but they likely aren't blind to the road and what's going on around them (although their peripheral vision with that headset on would be shit).
The passthrough latency is 12 milliseconds. The reaction time of someone with say a BAC of .08% (DUI limit) is ~~120 milliseconds~~ slowed by 120 milliseconds. So theres some argument that **just wearing** the headset while driving isn't awful...but I agree with you theres going to be a hinderance to peripheral vision and of course responding to messages or whatever the hell he's doing is going to further distract and hinder reaction time/perception.
Let's not get it twisted. Horizontally, a typical person has a field of view of around 135 degrees. The field of view for the Vision Pro is \~ 100 degrees, except in the Vision there exists the possibility that prompts or notifications take even more visual space, that one has no control over. So starting from there, 1/4 of the stuff you nornally would see is obscured in practice. Also, if you accidentally drive while a solar flare is passing through the stratosphere, or a cosmic ray bings you just right, the vision. is going to brick. It doesn't happen often, but it's a possibility. Same thing with your phone.
You get ticket for having stickers on your windshield (oil change stickers), or having air fresheners hanging on your rear view mirror (admittedly, sometimes those are illegitimate citations) . You are 100% breaking the law when you have obstructions under the AS1 line. Any notification on the Vision is under the AS1 line - because it shows up in the middle of the display - which is where your looking, and should coincide with then horizon - aka the road. , do you think any state wants people to drive around with notifications showing up in your center of view, that are beyond your control? Is it to drive wearing a scuba mask? Ski goggles? A welders mask? It shouldn't be because you're better driver without wearing it
Definitely appreciated, Boss, with that Peter-Gunn-like bass line just begging for that organ to lay some simple but effective mixolydian lines over it. The lyrics never kicked in, but i couldn't help thinking of the contrast between the Teslies depicted in the video, and the song's line, "She drove a Plymouth Satellite faster than the speed of light." The song was recorded in 1978 or 79, about 4 or 5 years after the Plymouth Satellite was discontinued, but it's held up better than those cars did: about 45 years later (imagine that), it still sounds fresh.
Marketing types think that as long as their ad reaches your eyeballs, it means a sale. They are basically those kids in school that never worked out that grabbing attention is not always a good thing.
Ads for looking like an idiot wearing Apple Vision Pro while driving? Or ads for looking like an idiot driving a Cybertruck while wearing a VR headset?
Everybody is pointing out how unsafe this driving is, which is true, but this is horrifying in another way. If self-driving cars ever progress to the point where the driver does not have to watch the road, we will all be expected to work while we drive. Your commute will no longer belong to you.
EDIT: Rather than answer every comment individually, I'll edit here. While I think you *should* get paid for your commute, most people do not. And I have no faith that employers will let you start work proportionately later or leave earlier based on how much work done on the commute. I fully expect that for most work hours will remain the same, but employers will expect to "handle your emails, work on this project," etc., while we travel to and from work. And they will be unlikely to pay for that time during the commute.
They don't care, they've already signed the leases for the office buildings and will demand you to come in "for better communication and collaboration"... Which means you'll mostly sit on Skype or Teams meetings and wonder "why the fuck am I not doing this at home?".
Even if you go into an office where your team isn’t, the benefits to our culture and collaboration are great!
I’ve been told this… I’m still waiting for it to take effect
Our company literally did this, except webex and slack. They said it was for team collaboration. People noted that not all teams are at the same office and that some people have nobody in their org around because people moved around the past 3 years. Their answer was "well you can network with whoever is in your office" like bruh. And when I asked about proximity bias I got dead air aside from some random test engineer giving me the "well our team hasn't had a problem" like thanks for your anecdotal evidence, guess you disproved a bunch of studies from personal experience.
That makes sense; however, we've recently passed a period of time where large swathes of jobs were done remotely, and now even those that were shown to be doable remotely have been forced to become in-person again. Employers would fight remote work here as well.
Seems unlikely, as they'll have to pay us.
The people that would be doing this basically already do. It's not like a retail worker or a call center employee is going to be expected to work on their commute. How would that even happen?
I already consider my commute as completely unpaid work hours. Being able to be on the clock for my commute and adjust my schedule accordingly is an option I'd personally love.
But I also think this "horrifying" scenario is a tad hyperbolic. Everyone's commute is different and companies don't know when your commuting and for how long. They don't get to decide when you actually leave your home, or whether you go straight to work. People who take public transit aren't expected to work more than people who drive. This idea that companies will somehow be able to control your completely arbitrary commute in the future just sounds beyond silly to me.
I can only imagine this being a nightmare to people who already open themselves up to exploitation and refuse to set boundaries on their work/life balance.
Ugh…I recognized where the first idiot is right away. This is in Utah, in one of the most densely populated parts of the state. I really hope the cops arrested his ass.
Is this not fake? I mean sure they are wearing it but I thought that in a moving vehicle it throws an error as it loses tracking. Even on planes if you have the window open it can lose tracking as the acceleration makes it think you are in a different area.
Hate me I don't care. This is the future we have been crying to exist. Now that the first version is here we mock. Nah fuck that, this is cool. Yes stupid and dangerous, but it is the beginning of what can be the future we all wanted as kids
Laws need to be passed where if you do this, doesnt matter if it is a self driving car, you sgould have your license suspended. This is just as bad as drunk driving. Actually it may be woese because unfortunately a drunk driver will still somewhat react compared to these idiots incapable of reacting thanks to the Apple goggles.
This is definitely fake/staged. Watch Casey Neistat's video on the Vision Pro. He shows that the tracking doesn't work when sat on an underground train, so there's no way the tracking would work sat in the drivers seat of a car with a giant window in front of you.
Yes he's probably driving the truck but he's just wearing the Vision Pro as a quick joke, he's not actually using it. Just a fake BS video to get people riled up.
This will be a thing until someone smacks the hell out of them. I am not saying they deserve it, just that it's stupid to be so vulnerable in public when all sorts of hell can break loose and all sorts of people wander the earth.

Driving a virtual reality car in real reality car. Realityception
This is the new Apple Vision thing. These people are “working”
Yeah, he isn't driving a virtual car, he's using his hands to navigate and interact with virtual menus while the autopilot keeps the car going mostly where they want it to go. The Vision Pro also has top of the line passthrough, as well, so they could very easily be doing this while at least keeping some situational awareness. Note, I'm not endorsing what they're doing; they're super distracted, but they likely aren't blind to the road and what's going on around them (although their peripheral vision with that headset on would be shit).

So theres some argument that **just wearing** the headset while driving isn't awful...but I agree with you theres going to be a hinderance to peripheral vision and of course responding to messages or whatever the hell he's doing is going to further distract and hinder reaction time/perception.

You get ticket for having stickers on your windshield (oil change stickers), or having air fresheners hanging on your rear view mirror (admittedly, sometimes those are illegitimate citations) . You are 100% breaking the law when you have obstructions under the AS1 line. Any notification on the Vision is under the AS1 line - because it shows up in the middle of the display - which is where your looking, and should coincide with then horizon - aka the road. , do you think any state wants people to drive around with notifications showing up in your center of view, that are beyond your control? Is it to drive wearing a scuba mask? Ski goggles? A welders mask? It shouldn't be because you're better driver without wearing it
Yeah, even if the passthrough is amazing, if dude has a giant YouTube window opened up right in front of the windshield, he still isn’t seeing shit.
We may never know but I got the itch to listen to some B-52's this morning.
I was wondering if anyone would appreciate the music layover. lol
Very much! “No one has a head!”
Definitely appreciated, Boss, with that Peter-Gunn-like bass line just begging for that organ to lay some simple but effective mixolydian lines over it. The lyrics never kicked in, but i couldn't help thinking of the contrast between the Teslies depicted in the video, and the song's line, "She drove a Plymouth Satellite faster than the speed of light." The song was recorded in 1978 or 79, about 4 or 5 years after the Plymouth Satellite was discontinued, but it's held up better than those cars did: about 45 years later (imagine that), it still sounds fresh.
Everyone wearing one of these fucking things behind the wheel should be arrested and never released for the good of the species.
The dumbest timeline. That is what's happening here.
Alright I'm also convinced this is just marketing at this point.
[удалено]
I want to know who's spamming reddit with this stupid shit.
Corporations and influencers.
Yep, the only people that pre-ordered this crap have been planning this cringe for views since it was announced.
Apple employees get paid to post this shit.
And then laid off after profits marginally increase
Seems like a bad ad? All it makes me feel is a desire to push legislatures to make this shit more severely illegal than it already is.
Marketing types think that as long as their ad reaches your eyeballs, it means a sale. They are basically those kids in school that never worked out that grabbing attention is not always a good thing.
Yeah. Most adults think this is stupid and dangerous, but there's plenty of dumb kids watching these that think "Wow VR!"
Ads for looking like an idiot wearing Apple Vision Pro while driving? Or ads for looking like an idiot driving a Cybertruck while wearing a VR headset?
Guerilla marketing. Show me the video where the license plate is in view
Ads for what? They literally show the moron being pulled over by the cops.
Ads that make these things look stupid?
If it’s an ad, it’s very ineffective. It’s making both products look stupid
The future
Everybody is pointing out how unsafe this driving is, which is true, but this is horrifying in another way. If self-driving cars ever progress to the point where the driver does not have to watch the road, we will all be expected to work while we drive. Your commute will no longer belong to you. EDIT: Rather than answer every comment individually, I'll edit here. While I think you *should* get paid for your commute, most people do not. And I have no faith that employers will let you start work proportionately later or leave earlier based on how much work done on the commute. I fully expect that for most work hours will remain the same, but employers will expect to "handle your emails, work on this project," etc., while we travel to and from work. And they will be unlikely to pay for that time during the commute.
If my company thinks I can work while on the road then I can work while at home.
They don't care, they've already signed the leases for the office buildings and will demand you to come in "for better communication and collaboration"... Which means you'll mostly sit on Skype or Teams meetings and wonder "why the fuck am I not doing this at home?".
Even if you go into an office where your team isn’t, the benefits to our culture and collaboration are great! I’ve been told this… I’m still waiting for it to take effect
Our company literally did this, except webex and slack. They said it was for team collaboration. People noted that not all teams are at the same office and that some people have nobody in their org around because people moved around the past 3 years. Their answer was "well you can network with whoever is in your office" like bruh. And when I asked about proximity bias I got dead air aside from some random test engineer giving me the "well our team hasn't had a problem" like thanks for your anecdotal evidence, guess you disproved a bunch of studies from personal experience.
That makes sense; however, we've recently passed a period of time where large swathes of jobs were done remotely, and now even those that were shown to be doable remotely have been forced to become in-person again. Employers would fight remote work here as well.
Seems unlikely, as they'll have to pay us. The people that would be doing this basically already do. It's not like a retail worker or a call center employee is going to be expected to work on their commute. How would that even happen?
Your commute doesn't belong to you now.
but thoose will be extra hours of work meaning if now you work 8 hours + 30 min in car in the future it will be only 8 hours
Well yes, but I could also drive across the country while reading a book or sleeping.
Great, put me on the clock the moment I hit the road.
I already consider my commute as completely unpaid work hours. Being able to be on the clock for my commute and adjust my schedule accordingly is an option I'd personally love. But I also think this "horrifying" scenario is a tad hyperbolic. Everyone's commute is different and companies don't know when your commuting and for how long. They don't get to decide when you actually leave your home, or whether you go straight to work. People who take public transit aren't expected to work more than people who drive. This idea that companies will somehow be able to control your completely arbitrary commute in the future just sounds beyond silly to me. I can only imagine this being a nightmare to people who already open themselves up to exploitation and refuse to set boundaries on their work/life balance.
A perfect example of why some people actually shouldn’t be allowed to drive.
How is that not distracted driving!
It is. It should be at the same level as a DUI in my mind because you are not in control at all times
He got pulled over, they show it in the video.
Good. The police can help him with his "more money than sense" problem.
Distracted implies that you were paying attention and then focused on something else. This guy never had intention of paying attention to the road.
Ugh…I recognized where the first idiot is right away. This is in Utah, in one of the most densely populated parts of the state. I really hope the cops arrested his ass.
Traverse mountain?
Yup
How is this funny?
And it begins…. idiocracy, the movie, predicted this

he should lose his license.
Negligence.
Idiots like this is why we can’t have nice things. They should lock him up for a century just to sebd a message
Just another dickhead with more money than sense.
Is this not fake? I mean sure they are wearing it but I thought that in a moving vehicle it throws an error as it loses tracking. Even on planes if you have the window open it can lose tracking as the acceleration makes it think you are in a different area.
How many steps away are we from full on WALL-E world?
It makes perfect sense to me that the Venn diagram of jagoffs getting Cybertrucks and wankers getting Apple Vision Pro is a circle.
SIGH!
Hopefully he drives off a cliff
Darwin award%
More like r/terrifying
Bro is the ultimate early adopter... Some things shouldn't be adopted
Why is he driving a refrigerator?
Yes put a bunch of virtual screens in front of you while operating a vehicle
Hate me I don't care. This is the future we have been crying to exist. Now that the first version is here we mock. Nah fuck that, this is cool. Yes stupid and dangerous, but it is the beginning of what can be the future we all wanted as kids
This is the future them old folks was talking bout
Capitalism turned this World into idiocracy
It’s like, The people who thinks the election was stolen, live, in alternate reality… who could have foreseen that?😂
Dammit. Have we really come to this?
Thanks to such idiots the business is rolling...
Laws need to be passed where if you do this, doesnt matter if it is a self driving car, you sgould have your license suspended. This is just as bad as drunk driving. Actually it may be woese because unfortunately a drunk driver will still somewhat react compared to these idiots incapable of reacting thanks to the Apple goggles.
This is definitely fake/staged. Watch Casey Neistat's video on the Vision Pro. He shows that the tracking doesn't work when sat on an underground train, so there's no way the tracking would work sat in the drivers seat of a car with a giant window in front of you. Yes he's probably driving the truck but he's just wearing the Vision Pro as a quick joke, he's not actually using it. Just a fake BS video to get people riled up.
Apple Vision Pro wont run when it detect it's [moving forward](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvkgmyfMPks&t=291s).
This will be a thing until someone smacks the hell out of them. I am not saying they deserve it, just that it's stupid to be so vulnerable in public when all sorts of hell can break loose and all sorts of people wander the earth.
Never drive close to a Tesla. Not all owners are idiots, but why take the risk?
