That is like trying to judge modern supercomputing by your experinces with a 6 year old Dell desktop.
Waymo drove 29,944.69 miles between "disengagements" last year. That is an average California driver needing to touch the wheel once every 2.3 years.
Tesla by comparison is classed as a SAE Level 2 driver assist system and isn't even required to report metrics to the state. While they sell it to consumers as self-driving, they tell the state it is basically fancy cruise control.
- arsome 5y ago"disengagements" is a disingenuous statistic - that'd be like a human driver just giving up and getting out of the car. What you want is "interventions". Additionally, look at where those miles were driven. Most of them are some of the most simplistic road driving scenarios possible.
