Newsom blocks California bill that would have banned driverless trucks

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday blocked a bill that would have banned self-driving trucks without a human inside.

Assembly Bill 316 was promoted by supporters as a way to save jobs by prohibiting self-driving trucks weighing more than 10,000 pounds (4,536 kilograms) from operating on public roads unless a person is on board. This includes vehicles such as UPS delivery trucks and larger big rigs.

I want to see how that driverless UPS truck is going to unload their packages and put them on their porches.
