Whoah, Waymo would be able to take one from Mountain View to Napa. (I get why Cupertino is excluded. But. Oof. Come on.)

It appears not to be. Here are the ones in Santa Clara County:

- Milpitas

- Mountain View

- Palo Alto Santa

- San Jose

- Sunnyvale

- Unincorporated Area (Lexington Hills area, overlapping Santa Clara and Santa Cruz Counties)

I don't know why it says "Palo Alto Santa"

Edit: I guess it's "Palo Alto Santa" to disambiguate between Palo Alto, which is in Santa Clara County, and East Palo Alto, which is in San Mateo County (BTW the westmost point of East Palo Alto is east of the westmost point of Palo Alto, but the eastmost point of East Palo Alto is not east of the eastmost point of Palo Alto).

Looking at the city limits, I don't understand why East Palo Alto isn't called North Palo Alto instead.

It's more East than North of El Palo Alto - the tree Palo Alto is named after.
