a hospital that drives itself to your worst day with the lights on.
means a vehicle equipped to carry sick or injured people to a hospital, usually with emergency lifesaving equipment aboard.
from From the French hôpital ambulant, a "walking hospital" — a mobile field hospital that followed armies into battle, from Latin ambulare, "to walk." The word later shifted from the moving hospital itself to the cart that carried the wounded away from it. So the lineage is literally something that walks to the wounded, then learned to drive.
