My criteria: When you can drop this car at a random spot on earth (where cars can actually go of course) and tell it to go to place B. So this can be anywhere from a big city to a small dirt road in the forest.

I'm still working on collecting the drive to all states badge. I've only accomplished half. I calculated my total driving since getting a license recently and its approx. ~360k miles or around 17k miles a year.

If Waymo can eventually handle rural life in the US I'd be seriously impressed.

Even if Waymo's healthy growth rate continues, it won't make up 5% of the entire US rideshare market until 2030.

That's still several years away from ever even thinking about rural areas.
