Re: 5G - beyond the hype
Newfoundland? Try BC.
5 people/km2. Linking big cities: 1 North-South road on Vancouver Island, 1 N-S up to Prince George/Alaska. Then TransCanada East-West to Alberta.
Outside of those axes, urban and suburban areas, the rest devolves quickly to small secondary roads, often semi-paved and sometimes without any cell coverage.
I suppose we’re outliers of sorts but any full-autonomous, no human backup driving tech that relies on fast networks and/or thorough and frequent road mapping is going to leave a lot of white spots on our driving maps.
Not quite Silicon Valley VC country ;-). Positive upshot: doing offroad is a vanishingly rare requirement for $$$ SUVs.
