This is click baity. Have a look at some of the laws:

Things like wheelchairs, farm equipment, and cars. Very narrow.

I’m not the least bit impressed and hope these examples are not used as an excuse to encumber the badly needed progress to fix things that matter apart from wheelchairs and veg. farm equipment.
