One incorrect gesture, and he'll be out of the road, and possibly ... out of this world, too.

I meant, out of the road, out of the sidewalk; he will drive straight into the woods.

I was just being silly about all the claims made about anything Tesla.

I can see marketing claims and fanboy stuff. Some of things that are not mentioned.
Vision Pro has a 2.5 hour battery.
With a cell/mobile when you stop using it it goes in the pocket or purse.
Claims that it will get smaller, but the tech is now effectively 10 years old and it is still almost the same size.
I wear glasses all the time and I really do not like it. Even more so as I get older.
With glasses rain, snow, cold are certainly a problem.
You want to stop in the park for a pick up game (basket ball, frisbee, whatever) are you going to leave a $3000 small transportable piece of equipment on the edge of the field?
I have damaged/broken glasses in a variety of ways. I have seen other people manage to destroy a cell/mobile on average of once a year. So replacing that is going to be expensive.
Making real entertainment content in 3D is more expensive than other content. But the general consumer does not have an uptick in disposal income to match the production cost. So either they do not buy it at all or they buy fewer titles. I believe the 'not buying it at all' is what most of the market sees now.
For business users waving ones hands in the air all day (versus a keyboard) just does not work. They have already tried solutions like that and no one uses it.

Ford F150 pickups have a "feature" that, if you're backing up and there's something behind you, it will stop the truck.
Sounds reasonable, doesn't it?
However, the other day, I had road salt build up on the backup camera and it wouldn't let me back up because it couldn't "see".
No matter how smart AI becomes, it will never be as adaptable situationally as the human brain.

Check your truck's settings. My Dodge Durango has something similar but I can explicitly turn off the "backup protection" feature; the off only lasts until the engine is turned off. Since I use it to haul a horse trailer, I need to be able to turn that "help" off when I'm backing up to hook up the trailer 
Be wary of strong drink. It can make you shoot at tax collectors - and miss.

Those are all great points!
Thanks for sharing.
You've given me hope that these will not take off.

Very expensive, heavy and doesn't do anything that I need. I like seeing the real world.

I'm tempted to buy one, just so that I can be clapped by the Apple Store Geniuses as I leave the store with a much lighter wallet.
