My guess is that getting local permits is easier to get for Waymos (never faster than 45mph, only within bounds of a single city) than long haul cargo (on highways faster than 65mph, crossing multiple city boundaries).

That’s true in AZ. Waymo is not allowed to operate on freeways yet

Waymo is doing rides with employees (not yet the public) in AZ now. https://waymo.com/blog/2024/01/from-surface-streets-to-freew...
