My wife and I visited Mendocino a couple of weeks ago. The natural beauty of it had us talking about the possibility of living there. The first obvious concern: Employment. It's a 3 hour drive to San Francisco.
My first thought was autonomous electric vehicles and exactly your point. Charge the batteries with sunlight and let the car do the driving to the office in San Francisco and back while I'm pounding out code, design documents, presentations, tax returns, or just hanging out on Hacker News ;-) Not every day, but maybe 3 times a week to spend 4 or 5 hours in the office.
Would that work?
- aetherson 10y agoI think that Mendocino is probably a little far for these purposes, but it seems completely clear to me that if self-driving cars become a genuine thing (not just a safety feature, but an actual "it will drive you to work by itself safely most days" thing), then there will be additional suburban/exurban sprawl.
