Elon Musk, who was driving his car on Friday, August 25, violated the law by broadcasting live. However, as he wrote BorderPalo Alto police are not considering fines the billionaire, as law enforcement did not witness this crime.
Palo Alto police captain James Reifschneider said, “If a police officer sees a driver with a phone in his hand, they may fine him for violating California traffic law.” According to him, there will be no punishment because none of the officers saw it in person at the time the crime was committed.
During the broadcast, Elon Musk was clearly seen holding a smartphone while sitting in a moving car. The broadcast captured the moment when his Tesla took control without turning off his autopilot and interrupting his broadcast.
If the police witness the crime of a billionaire, he will face a fine of $ 20 (about 1.9 thousand rubles) for the first offense.
As Captain Reifschneider pointed out, a police officer must witness the violation before he can testify in court that he saw the phone in the driver’s hand.
