Exactly which part of AB 1043 makes you think a "smart toaster" could reasonably fall under it?

You couldn’t really write a law that is easy to interpret in all cases and that is completely unambiguous.
Could the law be better written? Probably. But at some point there will always be a grey area that needs to be slowly defined through jurisprudence and case law.
