Tesla Driver Pulled Over for Sitting in the Back Seat

A Tesla owner has been arrested for reckless driving after he was spotted in the backseat while the car’s autopilot was on — a feature Tesla says is not supposed to be used without someone behind the wheel. Param Sharma, 25, spent the night in jail and his Tesla was impounded for a year, but he went right out and bought another one. Sharma says he’s been a backseat Tesla driver since 2018, but he recently drew attention with posts staring at passing cars from the backseat of his driverless car.
