“#Tesla \u2018driver\u2019 arrested in California for using Autopilot while in the back seat<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

On Monday the California Highway Patrol (CHP) arrested 25-year-old Param Sharma after he was seen riding in the back of his\u00a0Tesla Model 3 with no one in the driver\u2019s seat.<\/p>\n

He was spotted\u00a0travel<\/a>ling eastbound on I-80 across the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge toward the city of Oakland, and the incident was reported to CHP via numerous 9-1-1 calls.<\/span><\/p>\n

This was Sharma\u2019s first arrest, but terrifyingly not his first time dangerously relying on the Autopilot to drive the car.<\/p>\n

The CHP\u2019s Oakland Area had cited Sharma on April 27 for similar behavior.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The CHP had also posted on Saturday two photos on its Facebook<\/a> page showing a \u2013 then \u2013 unidentified man riding in the back seat of a Tesla with an empty driver\u2019s seat.
