Honestly they don't even have to support most roads and road conditions and still build a useful product. Thinks of malls, sports complexes, university complexes, airport etc. where you can have Waymo shuttles to help ferry people from fixed point A and point B.
Having self driving cars plying from airport to nearby transportation hubs alone could be pretty useful.
I also see the potential for building infra that is specifically for automated vehicles (private roads and such).
Waymo can still be 10 years away from a good autonomous vehicle and still deliver value to consumers.
