U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg on Monday said drivers must pay attention at all times after videos emerged of people in Teslas wearing Apple Vision Pro spatial computing goggles.

Buttigieg responded on X to a video that had more than 24 million views of a Tesla driver who appeared to be gesturing with his hands to manipulate a virtual reality field.
“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.
