California DMV posted disengagement reports from all companies that signed up to test autonomous vehicles on California public roads. Disengagement means autonomous driving is deactivated and a human operator has to take over due to safety or due to technical failure. Reports cover December 2016 to November 2017. https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/dmv/detail/vr/autonomous/disengagement_report_2017

California is not the only place on planet earth where autonomous testing is occurring.

 

Correct sir, though California is by far the leader right now in terms of allowing companies to test autonomous vehicles on public roads. California DMV also has strict rules for documenting disengagements and making them available to the public.

 

If you have public disengagement reports from authorities in other places like Michigan that allow autonomous vehicle testing on public roads, you are welcome to post them on this forum.

Why do we need to see them in the first place?

 

It's interesting data for anyone interested on how autonomous driving tests using public roads are progressing in California. Several companies have dramatically increased the number of autonomous miles driven before disengagements from the starting point of the reports in 2016 to the ending point in 2017. I expect these numbers will continue to increase in the years to come.

Good Car and Driver article about interpreting the California DMV disengagement reports including commentary from Consumer Watchdog. https://blog.caranddriver.com/what-we-can-learn-about-autonomous-progress-from-california-disengagement-reports/

 

 

"It’s only because of California’s rules that the public can find out what’s happening when companies use public roads as their private laboratories."
