US Secretary for Transport Pete Buttigieg posted on X (formerly Twitter) to say that all current vehicles require the driver to be engaged “at all times”.However, one driver admitted his video was a prank.Tesla and Apple have been contacted for comment.Videos posted online show people in the drivers seats of cars which have an autonomous mode, while wearing the Apple headset over their eyes. One was reposted by Pete Buttigieg, who wrote: “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.”This Twitter post cannot be displayed in your browser.

There is no release date for it in the UK.While users can see through the glass in some modes, it would still severely restrict vision while driving.The company has tried to stay clear of calling it virtual reality or any other similar name, instead referring to it as “spatial computing”. “Don’t describe your app experience as augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), extended reality (XR), or mixed reality (MR),” it said in a blog post targeting developers.Videos have been posted online of people wearing the headset on the New York subway and at the gym.Related TopicsTeslaDriverless carsAppleUnited StatesVirtual realityMore on this storyApple’s $3,499 Vision Pro finally gets release datePublished5 days agoBBC editor tries out Apple’s $3,499 headsetPublished7 June 2023Top StoriesLive. Prince Harry due in London after King Charles’s cancer diagnosisPM says pressure starting to ease as millions get last cost-of-living paymentPublished2 hours agoKwasi Kwarteng to stand down as MPPublished1 hour agoFeaturesWhat does King’s diagnosis mean for William, Harry and the other royals?Love Islander Tasha wants you to hear deaf accentsIain Watson: Labour works on plan for powerThe Carry On star who helped The Great EscapeHow a grieving mother exposed the truth of Turkey’s deadly earthquake’Will you come and get me?’ Gaza girl’s desperate plea before losing contactWhat’s killing so many of Sri Lanka’s iconic elephants?Is Ireland’s productivity boom real or ‘artificial’?Who is really pulling the strings in a divided Pakistan?Elsewhere on the BBC’I smashed all my trophies’Bradley Wiggins opens up about his mental health and imposter syndromeAttributioniPlayerHow did companies take over what we see and say online?The founders of social media conquered the world… and they’re not finished yetAttributionSoundsConquering Everest’s ‘Death Zone’ on skisFind out how a Japanese alpinist became the first person to ski down Mount EverestAttributionSoundsYou have to see it to believe it…Shocking footage caught on a doorbell cameraAttributioniPlayerMost Read1Kwasi Kwarteng to stand down as MP2Tesla owners told not to drive with Apple headsets3What does it mean for William, Harry and the other royals?4RAF staff hid in toilet to escape sexual harasser5Miss Japan steps down after tabloid exposes affair6The Carry On star who helped The Great Escape7What do we know about the King’s cancer diagnosis?8PM claims cost of living pressures starting to ease9Spanish farmers join wave of protests10Sat-nav failures send vehicles down flight of steps
