I think blinker to fork will allow you to select which fork of an expanding lane (or highway exit) you will take by using your blinkers.

This would be very nice. I find I have to override AP frequently at expanding lanes to have it go where I want. It presently just follows the lead car, or randomly decides, usually against my input. So a quick blinker for a decision would be AWESOME. I don't have FSD, and am happy to maintain my awareness and input like that for EAP.

Actually, this has been the case with AP1 for a while now (at least with forking lanes). When I first noticed this i wasn't sure if I was just selectively noticing when AP decided to make the "right" decision. But I repeated the experiment in the same location several times, and sure enough, blinking left chooses the left fork; blinking right chooses the right fork.

I have also confirmed that this does NOT happen everywhere. There are many locations where it picks a fork randomly or just follows the lead car. So the behavior does appear to be tied to specific data for that specific location.
