As the SAG-AFTRA strike continues, California’s economy continues to suffer. Small businesses that once provided services to the movie industry are beginning to shut down due to a lack of work. The longer the strike continues, the more California will need the jobs that tech industries, like autonomous trucking, create.

Governor Newsom recognizes the positive impact that the tech industry has on the state’s economy.

The bill in its current form would handicap the entire autonomous trucking industry and force companies to relocate to other states.
