Are these bots used in antagonistic settings, where markings on the road are missing, other trafficants are acting irregularly or illegally, the road is damaged or has temporary obstacles and so on?

The cities are cherry picked but the routes aren't, except for avoiding highways. You can go to any address and that means sometimes having to avoid, e.g., chickens on the road.
