Interesting tidbit on Automated Workers

[E66man]

I was fooling around on Settler level to try and rack up some Steam Achievements and had all my Workers automated since I didn't want to be bothered actually managing my empire in this particular game.

One of the City States popped up the road request, and the automated Workers built the road, even with it being something close to 20 tiles away from my nearest city.

Yes you'll notice that you also get the white "build road here" tile recommendation if you're managing workers manually and a city state has made a road request. The left hand must actually know what the right hand is doing in Firaxis's software.
