In most of the United States, it’s illegal to wear a headset like Apple Vision Pro while driving, but a Tesla owner decided to do it anyway with predictable results.

Laws around the world concerning driving include requirements for the driver to avoid being distracted while in control of the vehicle, with rules typically intended to prevent people from texting while driving. In one driver’s case, they discovered the laws also apply to the Apple Vision Pro.
In a brief video published to X on Friday, Dante Lentini was shown at the wheel of a Tesla, while also wearing the Apple Vision Pro. The clip has the 21-year-old tapping and gesturing away with the Apple Vision Pro.
However, later in the video, he is shown in the car while it is stopped, with a police car nearby. While the video doesn’t show an actual interaction with a member of law enforcement, Gizmodo reports Lentini confirmed he was arrested for using the headset in a tweet.
