Divide this differently:

- states where the major cities commonly have snow for > 3 months

- states where the major cities commonly have snow for < 1 month

Inclement weather is likely the differentiator. Blue state California gets Waymo in its biggest cities, which handily do not get much snow. The other Waymo cities are all below the Mason-Dixon Line.

They have been fully open here in Los Angeles for almost two years now.

the metro areas where it gets rolled out are all blue regardless of state

It's easier to roll out in places where it seldom snows.

Is it unfortunate, though?
