| Description of the problem | On 2 occasions, when i was driving in enhanced auto-pilot and engaged auto lane change, the car started changing lanes, then abruptly swerved back into my original lane. On the first occasion, it is possible i did not push the lane change indicator down far enough. On the second occasion, this was not the case. The indicator was pushed down all the way, i looked behind me and coast was clear. It's not at all apparent why the car aborted the lane change. It was raining. I was driving the speed limit, 55 mph on a 4-5 lane highway and i was in a middle lane, changing tinto another middle lane. In the first incident, i was driving on the same highway, no rain. |
