Autopilot always select wrong lanes before I get into I-580 and I-680

I drive from local to freeways everyday. I need to may a left turn to get into the freeways. Auto pilot will pick the right-most lane about 1000 feet before the ramp. That is a wrong lane, because it leads to right turn.

Sometime Autopilot will merge left and run across the solid line at the at 50 feet. It's danger. Some time, it won't correct its mistake.

This occurs since upgrade to FSD 12. It was OK when FSD 11 was in use.
 
I too find that FSD v12 picks the wrong lane more often than v11 did. Also, if there are two turn lanes and I can use either one, the car sometimes has trouble picking a lane and will waffle back and forth.

That said, I’m on a road trip now, and overall FSD v12 is working far better than v11 did on my previous road trip, and I use it almost everywhere.

I haven't noticed an increase with the upgrade, but this is a frequent problem in town. It will turn into the left lane when we will want to make a right turn or it will get itself into a right lane that will require a right turn when we want to go straight.

I have maybe 100 hours of FSD experience in New England, since the free trial and now that I can subscribe monthly. Hardware 3, 2021 model Y.

I have driven the same routes often enough to see recurring lane-choice errors that tend to happen in the same place, again and again. There is one spot in Augusta Maine, for example, where the car always merges into the exit lane, when it should not.

Some Youtube presenters have commented on recurrent, stereotypical lane-selection errors happening in the same spot day after day. He (DrKnowitall) speculated that it was not Tesla's fault, but rather, some internal error in Google Maps, perhaps leftover from road construction in the past, when the lanes actually were different than today.

I think maybe he is right. Tesla is dependent on Google maps, and is not in the position to build its own navigation system and database.

======================

I am a retiree with time on my hands. Is there any portal for me to volunteer to help Tesla in FSD development?

For example is there a way for me to manually correct, or suggest corrections, to the mapping data that causes about half of the disengagements in FSD?

Thanks

PS: Before someone corrects me, I understand that Tesla relies on MapBox, which gets its core data from Google maps.

It makes the same error (chooses left lane when we will soon need to turn right into a lane thick with traffic; chooses forced right lane turn when we will want to go straight and the left lane we are leaving and will need to return to is full of cars) always, repeatedly.
