Countless Tesla drivers wear Apple glasses behind the wheel – US Secretary of Transport warns Threema sharply criticizes Apple – and tries to score points with this argument

“Reminder: ALL advanced driver assistance systems available today require the driver to remain in control at all times,” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg wrote on the online platform X (formerly Twitter) on Monday.

In recent days, several videos have appeared online of people driving with Apple glasses and without their hands on the wheel. The Apple Vision Pro has only been on the market since Friday. The headset has cameras that can capture the environment and transmit it to screens in front of your eyes. Apple emphasizes in its usage rules that you are not allowed to drive a vehicle with the glasses.

The driving assistance system ‘Autopilot’ in Tesla electric cars can, among other things, maintain speed, lane and distance to the vehicle in front. Tesla itself emphasizes that the system does not turn the cars into self-driving cars. However, there were always cases where drivers relied too much on the technology. (sda/dpa)
