"“California’s proposed rules are great news for Texas,” says Bryant Walker Smith, an assistant professor at the University of South Carolina School of Law and affiliate scholar at the Center for Internet and Society, who studies self-driving vehicles.

California was in a position to lead on autonomous driving, too. It’s home to Silicon Valley and the first state to create a framework for test the technology. But now, “it’s leading in the wrong direction,” says Walker Smith."
