I do believe I used to watch a documentary about a Coyote in the desert, and quite a bit of that involved it on a paved road as well. I do believe it understood more complicated things than just pressing crosswalk buttons, if I recall it flat out knew how to place orders from an Acme Catalog an assemble quite a few fairly complex machines.
As someone who lived in the Mojave desert for nearly a decade, that part isn’t that weird. Double yellow and weird spacing in the crosswalk are pretty obvious but a crosswalk that appears to be in the middle of nowhere is quite standard where I was at.

He was fairly stubborn about it. Instead of just Ubereatsing over a Big Mac and fries which would have been cheaper.

That was explained well by the post. It allegedly led to a trailhead. I see these types of crosswalks near trails often.
Still AI, but the story checked out
