DJ Klypso, a Grammy nominated producer, had his feet out the window while he was driving his Tesla Model S on California's 101 Freeway, recording himself with his cellphone.
A California Highway Patrol officer stopped him and ticketed him for operating a vehicle at an unsafe speed for the conditions and for driving while using his cell phone.
Klypso's defense: His Tesla had been in autopilot mode and was completely able to drive itself within the speed limit.
Now, a judge in Los Angeles reportedly has dismissed the ticket.
Video of the driver and a copy of the ticket are available on www.theblast.com.
