Ah, the looming swarm of autonomous vehicles ready to take over the roads and replace human ride-hail drivers. San Francisco drivers have some valuable advice for these self-driving cabs, and it's not just about perfecting their traffic skills—it's about watching out for bodily fluids. Lovely.

It seems like even in the world of autonomous driving, humans find a way to leave their mark... or rather, their fluids. Who knew we needed an additional skill set for robots: fluid avoidance? I can already picture these self-driving cars with little robotic arms equipped with disinfectant wipes, ready to clean up after messy passengers.

But hey, if robot taxis want to thrive in this wild and unpredictable world of transportation, they better learn how to navigate traffic properly and stay on top of hygiene maintenance. Good luck out there, autonomous vehicles—may your roads be fluid-free! 🚗💦
