IIRC, California posts the annual disengagement reports at the end of January. It’ll be interesting to see if Tesla filed one for 2018. They didn’t report any miles driven in 2017. In 2016, they reported a small number of miles, maybe the number needed to record their FSD demo that they have on the Autopilot page.
The problem is that with a L2 system like the current autopilot where you have to take over when you exit a highway and encounter for example a traffic light, you trigger effectively a "disengagement" while operating with the expected flow of the system. It means that the "disengagement metric" gets very noisy (I'd say useless) in this case.
I don’t mean that Tesla will an anamolous number of disengagements, I mean that that they will file a report at all, which they haven’t done in 2017 because presumably they stopped autonomous driving on real roads. These reports don’t cover systems like the current Autopilot, as it is not considered autonomous driving.
