Is this a significant cause of concern for you?

Waymo has cameras running inside the vehicle. It would seem illogical to assume these people weren't flagged and that the car wasn't flagged for cleaning.

Most Uber's I've been in have felt more heavily trafficked than this experience and I'm no stranger to stories of people losing their lunch inside taxis.

I felt like this was a luxury experience in comparison to Uber/Lyft rides.

Why are you assuming I'm concerned?

What? I was asking if you were concerned because you brought up an article highlighting a concern and because your use of ellipses gave me the impression of additional sentiment not expressed in words.

Sentiment yes, concern no. Better to ask questions than to assume.

He did ask! He asked "Is this a significant cause of concern for you?"

No, he assumed I was concerned.
