User reports a slight steering nudge changes FSD's lane choice

Unconfirmed: A Reddit user describes that, with FSD, applying a gentle steering input seems to make the system choose a different lane. In his first example, a lane splits in two near a traffic light next to an interstate interchange. The left lane is turn-only, while the right lane continues straight onto a local road. The car took the left lane, although navigation indicated going straight at the next light. Approaching the first light, the author says he applies a slight nudge to the right. The author himself acknowledges it could be a placebo effect.…
