it's not an autonomous system it's embedded inside one or more of them...
it most definitely makes a forwarding decision which in this case also
requires address selection.

A router connects to two or more logical interfaces, represented by
IP subnets or unnumbered point to point lines (discussed in section
[2.2.7]). Thus, it has at least one physical interface. Forwarding
an IP datagram generally requires the router to choose the address
and relevant interface of the next-hop router or (for the final hop)
the destination host. This choice, called relaying or forwarding
depends upon a route database within the router. The route database
is also called a routing table or forwarding table. The term
"router" derives from the process of building this route database;
routing protocols and configuration interact in a process called
routing.
