BS.

According to him, people drive their Hondas into a supermarket after playing VR.

Adam Rogers is a senior correspondent at Business Insider.

Guessing he's not a researcher. He has no idea what he's writing. Just cherry-picking scientific articles to push his weird ideas. Might be a flat-earther or antivaxxer.

And Business Insider employs him as a senior correspondent. Fucking hell...

That part of the article was a hypothetical about someone driving while wearing a passthrough AR headset. It was not talking about VR sickness. There was no claim in the article that VR causes car collisions.

Okay, that's fair, but it doesn't really change much about the article in my opinion.

Business Insider has always written braindead content.
