State Senator Scott proposed a plan to impound Tesla robotaxis operating illegally in San Francisco. He emphasizes the importance of adhering to permitting and safety regulations, stating that Elon Musk is not exempt from these rules. Violating robotaxis should incur high fines, enforced by the police, with vehicles released only after necessary licenses are secured. This approach could serve as a novel way to tax wealthy individuals through penalties related to illegal operations, leveraging the existing police budget for vigilant enforcement.
