Tesla owners told not to wear Apple virtual reality headsets while driving
i think sometimes people just need to use there common sense
Tesla owners have been reminded to keep their eyes on the road after videos of drivers wearing Apple’s virtual reality headset have gone viral.
US Secretary for Transport Pete Buttigieg posted on X to say that all current vehicles require the driver to be engaged “at all times”.
Another video, posted on the day the Apple Vision Pro became publicly available, showed a man appearing to get pulled over by the police while wearing the headset in a Tesla.
While users can see through the glass in some modes, it would still severely restrict vision while driving.
Apple’s user guide warns against using its headset while driving, while Tesla says drivers should always “maintain control and responsibility for your vehicle,” even when it is in autonomous mode.
