Well, we don't know that, because neither have been achieved.

Sure, we will completely ignore Waymo and move goal posts...
Waymo has completed 20 MILLION autonomous rides, 6.5m last quarter alone...
At what point does it get to say it can self-drive? When there's not a single non-self-driven car left on the road?
I'm still working on collecting the drive to all states badge. I've only accomplished half. I calculated my total driving since getting a license recently and its approx. ~360k miles or around 17k miles a year.
If Waymo can eventually handle rural life in the US I'd be seriously impressed.
Even if Waymo's healthy growth rate continues, it won't make up 5% of the entire US rideshare market until 2030.
That's still several years away from ever even thinking about rural areas.
My criteria: When you can drop this car at a random spot on earth (where cars can actually go of course) and tell it to go to place B. So this can be anywhere from a big city to a small dirt road in the forest.
