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.

I'm sure that's true 🙄

But anyway, I was talking about all of the food that is delivered to grocery stores, restaurants, and anywhere else in society that wasn't personally farmed or hunted by yourself. Almost every retail food seller of any kind has their stock delivered by trucks for the last mile at least.

Not to mention all of the various other tangible goods that are purchased for a typical modern life. Those are mostly delivered by trucks to the stores too.
