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.
They could also kill pedestrians
Point.
Actually they’re more likely to do that huh?
Damn. Just another reason to ban driving.
I meant pedestrian are innocent in this case and we let Darwin deal with them innocent pedestrians might die.
Yeah, and I meant we should ban driving. Motorists are the devil.
yeah but most people unfortunately just love to drive
