Only the "find a mate" bit shows that you're making a joke.
"Completely natural migration behavior?"
"Waymos migrate south for the winter to warmer climates?"
Those are more tongue in cheek than straight up jokes. There's an actual explanation in there: Cold stresses the battery, so the self driving car moves somewhere warmer. This is the humorously framed as if it were talking about an animal, rather than a machine.
