Ask HN: What will self driving cars do to real estate?

I have been thinking about this as well. One idea I've been wondering about:

* Will more remote vacation destinations, including owning a second home in these areas, be more in demand? Buying or renting a vacation house that's a 5-6 hour drive away may not be as ideal if you have to drive yourself there. If you own or can rent a self driving car though, the trip may not seem quite as far. Longer road trips may become more popular, and geographical far places may feel closer than they used to. Demand in coastal or mountainous locations currently far removed from cities may increase.

I think robocars will soon lead to robolandyachts. It'll be pretty tempting to rent a comfortable autonomous land vehicle that you tell the scheduling package that "I can leave after 1800 and I want to be at the Grand Canyon at 0800" - it tells you back the available vehicle systems and their amenities and what view the reserved parking spots at the endpoint have, and you and your family travel overnight without further attendance.

Are you just talking about RVs?

You can't go to sleep in an RV and wake up at a predefined destination.

So... you're talking about self-driving RV's right?
