I was genuinely stumped by this one:

Do any of the tiles count? If so, do the tiles that barely have just the edge of a "tire" count? Who knows?

Ceci n'est pas une bicycle.

I'd skip this, because it would tell the AI that this "bicycle looking thing" is not a bicycle. If they wanted a cycle lane, they'd ask for that.

Then again, if they wanted a zebra crossing they wouldn't ask for a crosswalk, but here we are...

My goal is not to optimize google's AI training, it's to get access to the damn website. I think part of what it does is compare your answer with other people's, if the AI is not sure, so it's more like a Keynesian beauty contest where I'm trying to guess which tiles the average person would pick.

(And fail and then have to go through 5 more screens of this.)

I wouldn't skip it because I find the idea of Google cars braking to avoid crashing into a pictogram hilarious.
