IMO it's just placeholder stuff from earlier in development that management didn't think was worth finishing.

Driver AI? Let's just assign them a route to follow to see how it looks, we'll worry about real AI later.

Police AI? Just give them gang member AI (shot on site, aggressive when looking at them) until we can do a better pass.

Wanted System? Just spawn in mobs to something happens when the player gets a wanted star. We'll sort the real system when Driver AI and Police AI is finished.

Etc. Etc.
