What are the odds of this passing successfully?

A grim day for 3D printing if so.

The California legislature has a history of passing stupid stuff that later gets vetoed by Newsom. They tried to ban self-driving trucks last year.

That does not sound stupid, but safe? I giant truck that has no chance of stopping, controlled by a computer? Just build railways and then there are no issues, no fancy AI to control them.

A giant truck that has no chance of stopping, controlled by a human is even more dangerous, but we don't outlaw those.

How did you determine that it's even more dangerous?

It’s controlled by hired hands in the Philippines just like all those self driving GoogleRobo taxis.

		You misunderstand the mechanism. Its not because states copy other states. Its because the corrosive political elements are embedded everywhere, but most prominently have a foothold in California, Washington, and New York state. There is an interstate conspiracy and agenda to ruin America. Louis Rossman covered it recently in his video "The destruction of 3D printing: Bloomberg is behind it"
