It's already happening, areas that were once limited to off-grid use-cases are now connected via Starlink and cheap Solar generators. The only reason I'm not out further is I needed broadband so am at the end of the cable lines... but had Starlink been a thing when I bought this property I probably would have gone further out.

Truly driver-less cars will really bridge the gap between living in town, the amount of times I have to drive to town for supplies would drop tremendously if my truck could just take itself to do a curb-side pickup.

Since everyone has a pre-programmed urge to return to Eden, reducing barriers to rural living will naturally make people more rural.
