This study explores the trends and causes of disengagement events in Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) using data from the California Department of Motor Vehicles (CA DMV) from 2019 to 2022. Disengagements, defined as instances where control transitions from the AV to a human driver, are crucial indicators of the reliability and trustworthiness of Autonomous Driving Systems (ADS). The analysis identifies a significant correlation between cumulative mileage and disengagement frequency, revealing that 77% of disengagements were initiated by safety drivers. The research categorizes disengagements into system-initiated, driver-initiated, or planned for testing purposes, highlighting that environmental factors and interactions with other road users are the primary causes attributed to the AV system. The findings indicate a downward trend in the ratio of disengagements to mileage, suggesting improvements in AV technology and increasing operator trust. However, the persistent rate of manual disengagements underscores ongoing challenges regarding driver confidence. This research enhances the understanding of ADS performance and driver interactions, offering valuable insights for improving AV safety and fostering technology acceptance in mixed-traffic environments. Future studies should prioritize enhancing system reliability and addressing the psychological factors that influence driver trust in ADS.
