My understanding is that it is not even common to pass it on sexually. Perhaps there is more recent info but I recall reading research before that transmission from an infected person to a non-infected person was 1% or less (though this number varied based on the type of sex and who the infectious one was) per sexual encounter.

I’d be for this even if alcohol isn’t involved. Around Philly, most people drive their vehicles like they believe the rules of physics don’t apply to them and it couldn’t possibly be dangerous.

I know the robots in question are drones controlled by people so it’s not the same as an autonomous robot but I’d honestly rather deal with an autonomous robot than some fascist cop. My area has been installing a lot of red-light and speed cameras on busy roads over the last decade and while it’s got a bit of a dystopian vibe about it, it encourages more honest traffic conditions and eliminates encounters with law enforcement in place of getting a ticket in the mail. An autonomous robot that could potentially make a decision to kill me sounds pretty scary, but there is more than enough evidence to show that having a human in that role can go quite poorly as well.

They have to be. They don’t appear to be made of degradable materials and there is a large amount of them everywhere.
