If you go to the Waymo app and try to search for a location, it will give you results that are grayed out because it doesn't serve that place. But crucially, it's not just everything on Earth, or even everything in a certain radius from you.

Results for SF Bay Area:

• Alameda County:
  • coast
  • Dublin & Pleasanton
  • not Livermore
• Contra Costa County:
  • coast up to Rodeo
  • nothing inland
• most of Marin County (but no other North Bay counties)
• coast of San Mateo County
• Santa Clara County:
  • everything except Gilroy (but it does include Morgan Hill)
• Santa Cruz County (Waymo doesn't even have DMV permission there!)

Can you please try this and tell me whether you get the same thing?
