Buttigieg warns against wearing Apple Vision Pro goggles while driving
Newsy
The statement is seemingly in response to viral online videos that show people wearing the device while their Tesla appears to be in autopilot mode.
A viral video of a person wearing an Apple Vision Pro headset while operating a Tesla vehicle has caught the attention of U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
"Reminder—ALL advanced driver assistance systems available today require the human driver to be in control and fully engaged in the driving task at all times," Buttigieg said in a statement on social media.
In the video, the driver, who is in a Tesla Cybertruck, does not have his hands on the wheel while wearing the Apple headset.
A person under the username @lentinidante posted a similar video on X that's garnered nearly 25 million views in just a few days. The man later defended his actions, telling Gizmodo the video was a "skit" and that he only drove with the headset on for 30-40 seconds.
