&quot;Think A-roads in town centres, with houses on one side and a park on the other.&quot;<p>Where are those houses so cheap that it becomes profitable to bet on the emergence of autonomous EV&#x27;s only? Cheap houses are cheap in most places because they&#x27;re in undesirable locations. I can imagine houses in commuting distance of major job centers becoming more attractive with autonomous vehicles (I mean, the commuting distance will become larger, i.e. the &#x27;ring&#x27; expanding) but that expansion won&#x27;t be hundreds of miles. And houses within this distance aren&#x27;t that much cheaper that it becomes feasible to buy in bulk and hoard (well maybe you&#x27;re spending hundreds of millions, I don&#x27;t know).
