| Description of the problem | While traveling on enhanced autopilot and changing lanes using the direction stalk, i have noted that the vehicle has occasionally swerved back into the original lane before completing the lane change. This happened to me three times during my drive from palm springs to san diego on november 12. It happened twice on changing to the left lane and once while changing to the right. On none of these occasions was a vehicle in the next lane or accelerating in that lane towards the vehicle. Needless to say, it was a bit alarming. Other owners have reported this as well as noted in https://forums. Tesla. Com/forum/forums/autopilot-random-lane-changes-and-swerves. |
