Don't wear Apple Vision Pro while driving, says US transport chief

A viral video recently came to light showing a man driving his Tesla Cybertruck while wearing the Vision Pro headset.

According to media reports, the US Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg, has warned drivers not to drive their cars while wearing Apple's new Vision Pro headset.

The need to state the obvious came after a recent viral video came to light showing a man driving his Tesla Cybertruck while wearing the Vision Pro headset. The video shows the driver with both hands off the steering wheel and performing several hand gestures to control the features within the Vision Pro.

Buttigieg took to the social media platform, X (formerly Twitter) to state, "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."

Apple does state that the Vision Pro headset comes with "built-in safety features to help prevent collisions and falls", however, these refer to when users bump into a wall, not being involved in a car crash.
