Yes. In recent builds the car clearly knew when it was out of it's lane because it would almost always have correct lane lines showing in the display even as it wandered across the lane boundaries. There had to have been some kind of control limitation that was preventing the vehicle from moving back to the center of the lane even when it knew it was in the 'wrong' place. Another poster relayed information from Tesla tech support to the effect that the car was only 'allowed' to turn a certain amount depending on speed, which nicely explains this weird mismatch between it's perception and it's actions. If lane holding is substantially improved now (I haven't received the update, myself) then Tesla must be confident enough in the new lane detection and steering planning processes that they are comfortable with relaxing those steering limitations.
Its just odd Tesla restricted turning radius at certain speeds (resulting in my car previously touching or even crossing lane lines during sweeping curves but tight curves went OK (since the car would slow and in some cases almost stop).
Good luck getting the update its being sent like crazy, so if you're on wifi you will get it (or use mobile hotspot). This one is worth it. Really impressive (the superlatives come easy with this build).
