@yosefmacgruber1920 Because people don't wanna go to Bumfuck, Nowhere? There's nothing to do in flyover states. In fact, rural America as a while is dying. Let it sink in that people dislike boring, conservative (sorry— that's usually the case) places so much that they'd rather be dirty and homeless in a bustling city.

@yosefmacgruber1920 The ironic thing is, fully-automatic cars will only work in clear skies and relatively warm weather. You know, SoCal? Lidar, GPS and radar all function because of clear line of sight. So the areas which you hate the most will likely be the first to get autonomous vehicles. The North and Southeast, on the other hand, won't get the technology because their climate doesn't support it. Snow and rain completely fuck the navigational systems of Waymo, Google, and Uber cars. Minnesota especially will be stuck with normal cars for another few decades.

@yosefmacgruber1920 1) You must not understand how airplanes work very well. Generally, autopilot will take over the duration of the flight, with the exception of the takeoff, landing, and taxi. i.e., all the basic functions that a driver tends to behind the wheel in the form of starting, stopping, and turning. Pilots are still expected to be mindful of the plane's flight, and only extremely new models can land themselves (which was my point- we are just barely scratching the surface, and it will take decades to reach the consumer market at large scale). 2) They can, but again, pilots need to land and navigate the plane in poor conditions. This is why every runway is plastered in guiding lights. 3) Not sure what you're saying here- I'm just being realistic. I'm extremely excited to see electric, self-driving cars take off, but hyping yourself up will leave you with deflated expectations. 4) Obviously, the cars (the drivers, rather) will travel cross-country. I'm just basing my prediction off of what we currently have, which is precisely what I said- navigational systems can't deal with snow and poor visibility yet. Tesla's entire lineup freaks out under bridges and in snow, thinking every snowflake is a lane line. It's simply the reality right now. When the cars come to market, they'll be allowed to self-drive in certain regions/weather conditions, and drivers will need to take over in poorer conditions, or farther north. 5) They do, but radar and especially lidar- the main technology behind getting to Level 5 (as opposed to the current 2) cars won't work in some regions without en entirely new technology or workaround. For this reason, liberal cities will receive the earliest forms of the technology first, because most of them (in the U.S.) are in sunny or temperate climates.

@happygilmore5948 I can't really comment on Idaho or Utah, because they're the fastest growing by percentage increase (indeed, 2.1% and 1.9%, respectively). But with their tiny populations, that "enormous" increase of ~2% is only ~40,000 people per year. That's peanuts in a country of 330M. As for Texas, ever consider where most of the migration in Texas is occurring, specifically? No prizes for guessing- it's Harris and Dallas counties. Travis' is especially impressive. They all exceed the Texas average. So, what I said is still true. People dislike boring, conservative places. They'd rather be in a bustling city, no matter which state that city happens to be in. The only difference with Texas is, they're not dirty and homeless because (credit where it's due) they haven't regulated their housing market to hell. Oh, and I could just as easily ask you why Louisiana, Mississippi and West Virginia have lost population, too.
