I just imagine the world becoming destroyed and uninhabitable to human life and this thing will still going fixing empty and desolate roads amongst coyote-gators and dino-insects howling at the moons.

Sounds pretty similar to the start of Wall-E

Reminds me a bit of the short science fiction story There Will Come Soft Rains, about a very diligent smart home still attempting to care for its occupants after the bomb drops.

Nah, machines break down more than humans. I mean, we build the fucking things and we are terrible, so its not exactly a suprise.
If all humans are dead, this thing will have some random segfault because tony was hung over on a Tuesday when he wrote the code that ran its “roll wheels” function and the company had no code review because that costs money and diesnt pump up stock prices. So the machine will spend its last erstwhile moments before it loses all power after the death of humanity futility trying to spin its own wheels and hopelessly failing.
