Passengers were startled!

Top-down diagram of one lane splitting into two. A red Model Y comes up the single lane, a ring just ahead of it marks where the steering wheel shook back and forth, and a dashed path then takes the left lane past the painted split. Car and lane widths are drawn to scale. — Where it happens. The ring is the shake. Then it took the left lane.

Still an issue. There’s a spot where one lane splits into two. As the car came up to the split, the steering wheel did a very indecisive shake. It went back and forth while the car decided which lane to take. Then it made the correct decision and took the left lane.

I had passengers with me. The shake startled them. It was enough that they thought there was a serious problem with the car.

That’s why I’m posting this one. The car got it right in the end. But the shake before the decision was enough to concern the people riding with me.

I drew the split so you can see where it happens.
