If you fell asleep at the beginning of a 4 hour drive where I live, and woke up at the end, odds are very very high that you wouldn't be able to tell any difference in the surroundings.

I-10 driving across Texas...
It's a shorter drive getting the San Diego, California to El Paso, Texas than from El Paso to Beaumont Texas on the same road.

If you're in Los Angeles, you may not have left your county yet
There are many states where you can drive more than 4 hours and not leave, but now I wonder about the reverse: what is the maximum number of states you can reach in a 4-hour drive?
Surely, the route has to be through many of the small states in New England. I think it would be tough to reach more than 5.
Without traffic you might be able to get Maine,new Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey and maybe Pennsylvania, but that route would take you through/close to Boston and New York City, so there'll be traffic

India: Drive for a few hours, completely different language, culture, food, dresscode.
Twice? Are you driving Stuart Little's car?
If I drive for 4 hours, I may be two countries away.
There are different accents in the US. Talk to people from Texas, Louisiana, Rhode Island, and California, they all sound different with the person from Louisiana probably being the most incomprehensible.
For that matter talk to someone from Dallas, TX and then someone from Tulsa, OK. That's only a 4 1/2 hour drive. They will both sound different. I'm pretty sure there's a different accent in Oklahoma City compared to Tulsa, and a different one in San Antonio compared to Dallas.
youre thinking about Cajun English, which is getting less and less common, and really is found in the southern parts of Louisiana. most louisiana residents not from deep in the bayou speak relatively comprehensibly.
