Can you really? I remember that announcement and there was a lot of fudged language. You have to be a "member of the public service". You can download the app because it's in the app store, which is not the same thing as hailing a driverless vehicle.
It's not clear that member of the general public can actually sign up for it. Has anyone done that and taken a driverless ride in Phoenix? Happy to get more updated info / be corrected.
(And if this seems like a unreasonable amount of suspicion, I invite others to go back and read their press releases from the last 3 or 4 years, and tell me if that gives you an accurate picture of where the service is today)

In that 50 sq mile Chandler area, anyone can download the app and hail a ride. I don’t live in AZ, but I’ve seen several YouTube videos and r/selfdrivingcars posts/comments that can confirm it.
