    It’s camera pass-through, so while it is the same idea as hololens (overlaying windows on reality). The hololens would actually be a safer thing to wear while driving, given it fully transparent. There are not screens blocking your vision with camera feeds overlayed on top.

      Very important distinction. When the apple vr battery dies, or the software fails, you’re suddenly blind.

            Tell that to anyone that needs to mess with their touch apps to control the car while driving or adjusting the radio or checking emails/text messages/facebook/instagram or anything else that currently takes your attention away from the road. I am not say that you should be allowed to play with a VR headset while driving but the argument that “you are blind” is a bit dramatic.

              That’s just a strawman or a “what-aboutism.” What you described is also a big problem, and the reason I will never buy a car with a big fat ipad as a dashboard.
