This is really interesting in that it approaches the subject of non-human autonomy from a different angle. Currently this idea is discussed with utter seriousness and respect around advances and inevitable improvements in machine learning and AI. Sure, it's hotly debated, but I suspect that proponents of this legislation might have some passionate and potent "public mindshare" allies in the machine learning camp, -something they'll need if, as suggested in the article, a large movement in the body of common law is needed.
