rperez817 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 (edited) 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 Companies with most miles driven autonomously between disengagements. 1.) Waymo, 5,596 mi 2.) GM Cruise LLC, 1,214 mi 3.) Nissan, 208 mi 4.) Zoox, 160 mi 5.) Drive.ai, 44 mi 6.) Baidu USA LLC, 41 mi 7.) Telenav, Inc, 29 mi 8.) Delphi Automotive, 22 mi 9.)

tbone Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 So are we to assume the assertion is Ford has no autonomous driving anywhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harley Lover Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 So are we to assume the assertion is Ford has no autonomous driving anywhere? That's certainly what he is attempting to imply. Fortunately, California is not the only place on planet earth where autonomous testing is occurring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rperez817 Posted February 5, 2018 Author Share Posted February 5, 2018 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.

jasonj80 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 (edited) Where are the automonous jet airliners? Almost every jet that flys is autonomous at some point in the flight. Some from the point of take off to landing. Edited February 5, 2018 by jasonj80 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzymoomoo Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Why do we need to see them in the first place? I personally would like to. If Im going to be forced to drive along side of these things I want to know how reliable the technology is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rperez817 Posted February 5, 2018 Author Share Posted February 5, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sullynd Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Kind of scary: https://www.wired.com/story/tesla-autopilot-why-crash-radar/ Essentially if the car in front of you bears off to avoid a stopped vehicle its likely your autonomous car will accelerate into the stopped vehicle.

rperez817 Posted February 6, 2018 Author Share Posted February 6, 2018 (edited) 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." – John Simpson, Consumer Watchdog Edited February 6, 2018 by rperez817 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rperez817 Posted February 18, 2019 Author Share Posted February 18, 2019 2018 AV Disengagement Reports are now available from California DMV. Waymo had the fewest disengagements (0.09 per 1,000 miles driven) and Apple had the most (871.65 disengagements per 1,000 miles driven). https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/dmv/detail/vr/autonomous/disengagement_report_2018 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
