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

      How long does it take to become unblind? I’m guessing maybe a second or two.

          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.
