The other DWI: Driving while immersed
Meta and BMW have made a joint breakthrough in allowing virtual reality headsets to work in moving cars by independently tracking a person's body movement from the car's motion. However, as noted by Jeremy Bailenson, the most immersive medium ever invented may cause accidents and potentially lead to fatalities if drivers choose to use the virtual reality headset while driving. He highlights the dangers of distracted driving and provides examples of how augmented reality experiences, such as Pokémon GO, have already led to fatalities. The promotion by Meta and BMW is challenged by the author, who believes that the most engaging and immersive medium ever invented should not be placed in moving cars.
