Incidents have occurred where the wrong runway was selected in the FMS for departure. If 16L was selected but the aircraft took off on 16R it would start tracking towards the initial waypoint aligned with 16L once NAV mode and the auto pilot engaged.

I'm not suggesting that is what happened on this occasion, but bear it in mind for future reference.
