Apple is based in Cupertino. And Apple once had self-driving car ambitions.

Cupertino is in there, no?

It appears not to be. Here are the ones in Santa Clara County:

- Milpitas

- Mountain View

- Palo Alto Santa

- San Jose

- Sunnyvale

- Unincorporated Area (Lexington Hills area, overlapping Santa Clara and Santa Cruz Counties)

I don't know why it says "Palo Alto Santa"

Edit: I guess it's "Palo Alto Santa" to disambiguate between Palo Alto, which is in Santa Clara County, and East Palo Alto, which is in San Mateo County (BTW the westmost point of East Palo Alto is east of the westmost point of Palo Alto, but the eastmost point of East Palo Alto is not east of the eastmost point of Palo Alto).

It looks like the map includes north of 280, so you can use it to go to Gamba Karaoke and Tea Era. And really, what else could you need from Cupertino?

It might be that you can start a trip in one of the cities, but you can travel out of the city to anywhere in the highlighted area.

Looking at the city limits, I don't understand why East Palo Alto isn't called North Palo Alto instead.

I always assumed it was because San Francisco is "North", and East Palo Alto is on the "East" side of highway 101.

It's more East than North of El Palo Alto - the tree Palo Alto is named after.
