One of my friends just shared a video with me touting the features of
the latest Tesla FSD (Full Self Driving) software and I was surprised
to find that it was made in Scottsdale. It's essentially the first
video footage I've seen of the place.

I've always found it interesting to see places I've never been. They
always seem to look different than whatever I've anticipated. This is
no exception. I suppose I was expecting more sandy desert and cactus
and fewer boulders and scrub grass and palm trees ;-)

Anyway, anyone curious to see what the area looks like might find
this an interesting video.   

 
Looks much like it did back in the 90s. I spent a week out in the
Phoenix area for work. Now if you head North/North East about 100
miles you will find much more trees and the temps will be much cooler
as you head into the mountains.

Am I safe in assuming that the trees were planted by people rather than
natural processes and that the existence of the trees has caused the
cooler temperatures as approach the mountains?
