   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.   
      
   Apple’s Vision Pro was released last week and blends three-   
   dimensional digital content with a view of the outside world. Apple,   
   which says people should never use it while operating a moving   
   vehicle, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.   
      
   The Vision Pro was revealed in June as a headset that allows users   
   to interact with “apps and experiences” in an augmented reality (AR)   
   version of their own surroundings or in a fully immersive virtual   
   reality (VR) space, said Alan Dye, Apple vice-president of human   
   interface design.   
      
   “Apple Vision Pro relies solely on your eyes, hands and voice,” Dye   
   said in June. “You browse the system simply by looking. App icons   
   come to life when you look at them; simply tap your fingers together   
   to select, and gently flick to scroll.”   
      
   “Apple Vision Pro will change the way we communicate, collaborate,   
   work and enjoy entertainment,” Apple executive Tim Cook said.   
   However, the company never intended the Vision Pro to change the way   
   people commute.   
      
   Tesla did not immediately reply to a request for comment.   
      
   Buttigieg has made similar comments previously about the use of   
   Tesla’s autopilot. Tesla says its advanced driver features are   
   intended for use with a fully attentive driver “who has their hands   
   on the wheel and is prepared to take over at any moment”.
