I disagree we should absolutely want AV testing. This is the next major phase of vehicle transportation and getting the initial investment and groundwork will provide growth for the state for decades as the self-driving revolution for everything from personal autos to planes develops over the next 30 to 40 years.
People seem to think AV stuff will be tested for 4 or 5 years and then it will be adopted by all vehicles but that isnt the case its likely to take a generation before the majority of people will be comfortable with self driving cars so it will be a decades long industry to have in the state.
I would also, of course, push Tech, Finance, Logistics, Manufacturing, Aerospace (heavy on the space) These are all robust long term industries for Arizona to continue to grow in.
Also the Healthcare/Retiree/Leasure industrial complex we used to rely more on, that will also always have a market.
