I drove my Model Y on the highway today and noticed that autopilot was staying much closer to the right side of the lane than usual. My experience in both the Y and my M3 is that autopilot generally holds the center of the lane. It was far enough to the right to sometimes show the car almost touching the blue lane line on the display. At least once I took over from autopilot when there was a car in the lane to my right because it felt uncomfortably close.
I just had the windshield replaced earlier this week (on September 1st). When got home from the SC, I got a notification that there was a software update available and I installed it. I was surprised when the update completed after only a few minutes. Today when I got in the car I again got a notification that there was another update waiting to be installed and the release notes for 2021.12.25.7 were on the screen. That was a surprise, because I already had that version and thought that the update that I installed on 9/1 must have been 2021.24.4, which my M3 also received this week.
TeslaMate shows that I received 2021.12.25.7 on 8/3/2021 and that it took 38 minutes to install that update. Then on 9/1, the day of the windshield service visit, it says I again received 2021.12.25.7, this time taking 6 minutes to update.
As I typed this it installed 2021.24.4, which is the update I got notified of today. TeslaMate shows it took 15 minutes to complete.
So:
It isn't that the car doesn't know where the lane is, so I don't think it is a camera calibration issue. The blue lines are matching up with reality. It is just that autopilot is choosing to position the car very far to the right in that lane that it has accurately depicted on the visualization. Should I recalibrate the cameras anyway?

So:
- Why did I get a second installation of 2021.12.25.7 that installed so quickly when I returned home from my service appointment?
- What might be causing the lane position to be off when using autopilot?
