The two sides use the same scale, so the national side dominates by construction — it is a much larger sample. Compare the shape, not the length.

Reports by month

Month resolution only. A gap is a month with nothing filed, not a month with no driving.

Hiring here

Open roles naming this city. Field and operations roles in particular move months ahead of a service launch.

No open roles name this city. That is an absence of postings rather than evidence that nobody is hiring: not every operator lists roles by city, and one of the largest publishes none that can be read this way at all.

California carriers file the census tracts they operated in, but the driverless programmes redact the trip counts inside them.

The only complete tract-level geography in the public record belongs to Cruise, which stopped operating in 2024.
