We moved 46 miles outside of Atlanta in anticipation of self-driving becoming much cheaper and accessible. We may not benefit from it in our working career but I now have 25 acres that my daughters/spouses will be able to build on. Looking 25 years out it just made more sense fiscally for our family than buying in a subdivision again. ...plus we grow a portion of our own food.

I have a remote job and am looking at a setup like this. Land seems like a very valuable commodity and I would like a lot of it. The peace of having distance between neighbors, the ability to grow food, building structures (I'm thinking workout equipment), having some animals. It seems like the ideal set up for me and I do really think self driving will allow people to work further and further away. I think it will also help normalize remote work, when you regularly work for an hour on your commute, it should be easily transferable that you work at home.

I'd recommend finding a telework job to hedge your bets.
