    Vision Pro is an ignorant queer toy that will murder innocent
    people.

    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”.
