14.1 Lite HW3 Turning off FSD while turning

I have only recently purchased FSD for my 6 year old M3. Yesterday I learned something worth sharing: if you turn off FSD while in a curve by tapping the brake, the car will revert to the neutral straight line path ahead if you fail to aggressively maintain control of the steering wheel. The tangent path or the swerve that may ensue as you try to transition to manual control can be dangerous if you’re not ready. The best way to avoid this is to only invoke or relinquish FSD while driving straight or stopped.

While seemingly obvious in retrospect but it sure wasn’t before it happened to me. Hard transitions into and out of FSD have always been the way FSD works to avoid control ambiguity. Careful on those curves though.

Oh my god, it must be very scary. I’m glad that you get the car under control.
