Pretty much all human wants are means to other wants.
Someone might want to fast to lose weight. Someone might want to lose weight to be more attractive. Someone might want to look more attractive to find a romantic partner. Someone might want to find a romantic partner to not be lonely.
It's not clear if it's means all the way down, or if there is eventually an end.
Any AI that can perform strategy and planning to reach an objective will have intermediate goals. Whether we call these intermediate goals "wants" or not, they remain identical to their human counterpart. Whether you say that a Tesla "wants" to change lane, "decided" to change lane, or "is programmed" to change lane really is just anthropomorphic preference.
