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.

Someone linked his video. It's pretty impressive, especially if unedited. Around 1:10 in the video I can see the low FPS and high latency which most folks say makes them sick when using VR, so that guy must have a hell of a stomach because I've got a pretty strong one and pass-through gave me intense nausea and headache in very short order and that has been the case for every single experience with pass-through I've read about before.

Dude, are you for real?

What you have been seeing is a screen recording that was cut into a video, which was compressed by YouTube. That's nowhere close to the high resolution 90hz display that's actually in front of his eyes.

Just accept that you overreacted and don't be such a sucker for being right.

It's not the resolution, it's the latency. I also never overreacted except possibly in disbelief over how many people accept this as real - as in something this person actually does and not simply staged for a reaction. Well, guess he got it. But yeah I'm about done with all this. Not like anyone is going to remember me if and when we all find out it was staged.

Yea and guess what, you can't see latency in a YouTube video either.

It's the first device that keeps the latency sub 12ms. Frankly, I never tried it, but it's something no other VR device achieved. I doubt it's fake until proven otherwise, 12ms is almost instant.

Your only argument is "I get sick from VR pass-through". Well, this is a new device that may have solved it, yet you continue to be set on your opinion based on past experiences with other, worse devices.
