TechScape: Why Apple's Vision Pro headset won't have Netflix, Spotify or YouTube

The Guardian

It's good to have friends. They come to your birthday party, offer a shoulder to cry on when things are hard and spend precious corporate resources developing apps for your nascent virtual reality platform despite little direct return. It can be tempting to believe that a pile of cash worth 30bn, and a single product line that brings in more than 200bn a year, is an acceptable substitute. But Apple is learning that money can't buy you everything. Last week, pre-orders opened for the company's Vision Pro headset, the 3,500 "spatial computing" platform CEO Tim Cook has positioned as the successor to the Mac and iPhone and the launch of the third major era in Apple's history.


UK regulators will allow drivers to watch TV in autonomous cars

Engadget

With self-driving vehicles possibly arriving on UK roads later this year, the government is starting to put rules in place to accommodate them, the BBC has reported. As part of that, it will allow drivers in autonomous vehicles to watch TV from an infotainment screen in self-driving mode, as long as they're ready to take back control. That's a modification of a law that has been on the books since 1986 that prohibits drivers from viewing a "television-receiving apparatus" when behind the wheel. It will still not allow the use of mobile phones, which were officially banned in the UK last year. That's because automakers can implement technology to stop a car's built-in screen from displaying content when the driver needs to take back control, but can't do the same on a smartphone.


Don't watch TV while safety driving

Robohub

The Tempe police released a detailed report on their investigation of Uber's fatality. I am on the road and have not had time to read it, but the big point, reported in many press was that the safety driver was, according to logs from her phone accounts, watching the show "The Voice" via Hulu on her phone just shortly before the incident. This is at odds with earlier statements in the NTSB report, that she had been looking at the status console of the Uber self-drive system, and had not been using her phones. The report further said that Uber asked its safety drivers to observe the console and make notes on things seen on it. It appears the safety driver lied, and may have tried to implicate Uber in doing so.
