I still see them around, but it's pretty random. It isn't like they follow fixed routes, like buses. The Android sculpture garden on Landings Drive is probably a more reliable source of Google-related selfies.

Tell your friends next time to go drive near the rec center on Bingo night. The seniors driving to that do a good impression of Waymo cars.
Better yet, tell them to go on a hike or something

They love in the Google Building at Mayfield and Central. So you can see them pretty much every 5 minutes at Mayfield and Nita or just Nita. They only really use the minivans now.

I haven't seen the little beetle-shaped cars in months, but still see a few SUVs on El Camino now and then. I think they took the little cars off the street or are testing them somewhere else in the country.

Here's some more information: Web Link
The "Firefly" cars (the 2-passenger beetle-shaped cars) have been retired, in favor of a new generation of converted minivans. And their current "early rider" program is operating in Phoenix, not Mountain View.
