Consumer Description

I was driving with my wife and two kids at around 8:30pm (it was dark outside already) on November 29, 2022. The street was pretty empty and it had 2 lanes in each direction. I was driving the left lane with the speed at about 40 mph and had the autopilot (the one that keeps lane, not FSD) turned on. When the car was approaching the intersection with the green light on, it suddenly decided to turn left (even though there was a dedicated left turning pocket on the left hand side). It looks like it was confused and after trying to change the direction it pointed the car right to the road sign. Hopefully I had my hands on a wheel and was watching the situation, so I immediately turned the wheel right to get back to our lane. If I wasted a fraction of second we could end up smashing into the road sign at about 40mph.
