I heard Captcha was being used as training data for self-driving cars. Which probably explains why almost all of them ask you to identify cars, motorcycles, bridges, traffic lights, crosswalks etc.

Both are right. The older ones with squiggly letters, numbers or that ask you to identify animals or objects were being used to train ai bots.

The ones that ask for crosswalks, bikes, overpass, signs etc are used to train self driving ai.
