At 35 mph, A 2-second reaction time will get someone killed.
Tell that to anyone that needs to mess with their touch apps to control the car while driving or adjusting the radio or checking emails/text messages/facebook/instagram or anything else that currently takes your attention away from the road. I am not say that you should be allowed to play with a VR headset while driving but the argument that "you are blind" is a bit dramatic.
That's just a strawman or a "what-aboutism." What you described is also a big problem, and the reason I will never buy a car with a big fat ipad as a dashboard.
