Yes, it's the most important reason why OutRun mode is still a work in progress. In all other modes, stages appear in a linear order, so the ai cars look through the list of road pieces in order to know how many lanes there are and which corner is coming up. In OutRun mode you have branches and therefore the ai cars have to recalculate with each branch the player takes to know in which stage they are driving. They regularly mess this up. They basically think that they are driving in a different stage with 5 lanes instead of 3 and therefore they don't interact with the roadside objects. It's a real pita to program this. 😅 But I'll fix it eventually.
