California's budget deficit is larger, but a large sum of money from Google can probably buy much more legislation in Nevada.

- ktsmith 15y agoNevada is much less hostile to corporate interests than California so the amount of legislation they can buy with via lobbying is only part of the issue. I only mention the budget and employment issues because I believe they are relevant to the use of autonomous vehicles in Las Vegas which I believe the parent poster was implying. That would be seen as killing jobs (even if not true) by the local population and could end up being very bad for the legislators that approved the legislation allowing autonomous vehicles. As far as Nevada's budget deficit goes, the issue could be resolved relatively simply however no one in the legislature is even willing to talk about the steps necessary to do so.
