I once had the auto pilot parallel a LOC in the CRJ. I took it off and hand flew it. And no it was not attempting to account for wind. The CRJ sucks at intercepting on strong cross winds.
We have to remember, it is a computer flying data generated by other computers and computers mess up. We all have had our home computers do stuff that a quick reboot fixed. (A reboot sometimes works on the CRJ too.)
