That's, actually pretty damn terrible. 1 disengage per 5.5k miles is roughly 1 accident per 5.5k miles if the driver is not paying attention. Look at the Uber accident cam video pointed at the driver. This is the attention levels of drivers in so-called "self-driving cars."

These cars have had far more disengagements than accidents. Why are you assuming that one disengagement is equal to one accident?

Because that's exactly what you would expect from an alert safety driver - to take control and prevent an accident when the car makes a mistake.

I’m honestly surprised this is even allowed to operate. I doubt that this is increasing safety in any meaningful way.
