Google engineer not working on Waymo, opinions are my own.

I think "driverless" here is different from "self-driving", i.e. 'Waymo uses “driverless” here to refer to operations in which the ADS controls the vehicle for the entire trip without a human driver (whether in the vehicle or at a remote location) expected to assume any part of the driving task.' at page 5 of that report.

I think this driverless mode is only available to public on Oct 8th [0].

That's how I interpreted it too, but I'm still surprised it's not 10x. I would have thought that paying the drivers is a major expense, and collecting "real" data 24/7 would be a priority.
