CHP tickets driver with apparent SpaceX Starlink dish bolted to car hood

A California Highway Patrol officer pulled over a vehicle on Friday that had a satellite dish bolted to the car’s hood.

The dish appears to be an antenna from SpaceX’s Starlink service, which rolled out in October with a beta program.

CHP told CNBC that the motorist received a ticket for a moving violation.
