Or you know, he's gonna brag to friends who are gonna talk about it and backpack is now key (that a lot of people know about) to a house probably filled with expensive gadgets.
Outside companies almost never get the same benefits as local ones, that's true even outside of china. Another thing is that china has national interests in chinese carmakers.
In europe there are categories. For example category B is where regular vehicles up to 3.5t (at full capacity) are. They also have quite strict pedestrian safety regulations. Due to weight and pedestrian safety american trucks don't actually fit in this category and require an additional category C license. Being in category C opens you up (depending on the country) to additional road taxes, road usage limitations and even might not allow you to enter certain areas.
Because 90% of the time 50 miles is enough for you (maybe not you, but most people) to get through the day and charge it, while you will only need gas on those long occasional trips.
While I completely agree that it is a very bad idea to drive with one, you have to give credit where credit is due. Apple really did an amazing job at reducing latency of the passthrough. That being said it's still added latency and it's a very very narrow FOV so please don't go driving/walking around with that thing.
AFAIK there is no strict definition for AR how current reality has to be implemented, and both transparent and reprojected have their advantages and disadvantages. For example it's much harder to "pin" augmentation on transparent AR, on the other hand latency and FOV are big issues for reprojected AR.
