Are there any cars like that?
At any rate, for such cars to receive regulatory approval, they would need to be vetted to ensure that the UI elements don't exacerbate blind spots or hide critical pieces of the road, etc. The Apple UI is not designed with that in mind and may not give any such guarantees, and even if it were, it's still possible to abuse. There is also a formal process for removing such cars from the road if it turns out that they don't function as expected; whereas chasing down Apple Pro Vision users is left to the relevant highway patrol units.
Even if, in theory, the Apple device could be used safely, what happens in practice is far more important than theoretical use cases.
- FanaHOVA 3y agoYes, I rented a BMW X7 on a trip and it had a HUD projected on the windshield.
- amalcon 3y agoI once had a rental that projected a speedometer low on the windshield (and some other gauges I think). Of course, Apple Vision can project anything -- not just information related to vehicle operation.
- SketchySeaBeast 3y agoThe really important bit is it HAS to project everything. When it stops projecting you're left literally in the dark, and that's a poor failure state when you're hurtling along at 70 mph.
- amalcon 3y agoThere was also a regular dashboard that one could use in that situation.
- SketchySeaBeast 3y agoI mean for a vision pro.
- amalcon 3y agoAh, gotcha.
- Scubabear68 3y agoKia Telluride has a HUD that projects a bunch of info on the driver’s side windshield. It is awesome, a bunch of info is available to you without having to turn your head away from the front. This is different from a headset where you are not seeing things directly but instead through cameras and some amount of visual processing. Also, vehicle HUDs show limited info and are not distracting eg they don’t project a game or video on your windshield.
