That makes sense. Though, with Waymo/Cruise/etc (that are still in the testing phase - at least compared to groups like Uber and Tesla), is there any documentation on why they disengaged?
Personally (again, anecdote, but still) I've seen many, many people who, when brought to a new situation while driving, will begin to panic and ultimately stop in the middle of traffic... Often during rush hour. I can imagine that the systems driving these cars could be put in to a similar position (remember the bicyclist and the Waymo car?) and need human intervention to continue.
