Well, visuals posted on social media over the past few days suggest that Vision Pro users are wearing the headphones while doing almost everything. take plane? Check. Take the subway and get some work done? Check. Going to a restaurant with friends? Check.

But some even show people still wearing their headphones while crossing the street or sitting behind the wheel. Imagine if a person drove while wearing a Vision Pro headset, human error would result, leading to a major traffic accident and claiming someone’s life.
