Its not very common. Its just in very specific jurisdictions with very specific fleet count allowed.

Within the past 8 or so years, self driving has rapidly improved (not any of the shit tesla calls self driving).

A lot of the testing happens in california, only because thats where a lot of the startups are as well as existing big corporate are located as they go their due to the existing talent pool required to start it up.
