US transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg on Monday said human drivers must pay attention at all times after videos emerged of people wearing what appeared to be Apple’s recently released Vision Pro headset while driving Teslas.
Buttigieg responded on Twitter/X to a video that had more than 24m views of a Tesla driver who appeared to be gesturing with his hands to manipulate a virtual reality field.
Despite their names, Tesla’s assisted driving features – Autopilot, Enhanced Autopilot and Full Self-Driving – do not mean the vehicles are fully autonomous, Buttigieg said Monday on social media.
“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.
Wait, no, which video are you talking about? I’m talking about (and I assume everyone else is talking about) the guy in the link above who is behind the wheel of a tesla truck cruising along and using his headset. What video are you talking about?
Yeah the one I saw was like 2 seconds of the guy cruising along and then it cuts to him getting out of the truck in a parking lot waving his arms about like he’s living out a John Woo movie.
