Why not?

We probably do need laws to prevent people watching movies in an Apple Vision Pro whilst driving.

We have harsh laws on using phones whilst driving, a Vision Pro (if configured in a specific way) could entirely block your vision with a Movie or Show and this is dangerous.

This might come as a surprise to some, but most people sitting in a moving vehicle are not driving. Trains and buses exist. Even in cars you usually have multiple seats and the ability to transport passengers.

Also, in what country is it legal to drive around with a VR headset?

This is for a passenger.
Because the more we reject our shared reality and substitute it with each our own, the less humane we become.
The AVP is primarily an AR device, not VR.
God forbid a person rejects the shared reality of a boring 12 hour flight and substitutes it with their own. Some real deep thoughts here
I’ve met some very interesting people on flights. I’ve done some great work. I’ve had some great ideas.

Don’t be so scared of variety. You just keep subjecting yourself to more of the same. The unending familiarity makes you dull.
