That's a good question, and it makes me realize that a lot of my disengagements are simply because I don't want to scare someone behind me if I look like I'm weaving.How are your disengagements. Are they happening at the same location everytime? Any evidence the drive is getting better on the same firmware (44) which can happen thru better maps.
In general, there are a few factors that affect the likelihood of needing to disengage:
.
1) Base Speed - it's amazing how many fewer disengagements occur if you go the speed limit, or no more than 5 mph above,
2) Day and night are big factors, and I find my AP is best at night and in the rain. ... I'm sure this has something to do with slower traffic at night and in rain, but also less visual noise (if I'm describing that correctly).
3) My subjective impression that the car is learning a bit as time goes on.... my guess is that this is placebo effect once you get beyond the 25 miles after a firmware update where it seems to be recalibrating.
4) AP2 and 17.44 is definitely improving, I think there is a clear difference after 17.40 whereas before it seemed like it was two steps forward one step back... now it feels like 5 steps forward and 1 step back (for example, my summon no longer opens my garage door when I wait in the alley while I do my warmup stretches now, I have to open the door first... freaking Elon.
5) There are times it seems like the processor is more efficient than others.... kind of like if you boot up your computer and try to open too many programs before it's done warming up... there are times where the car is like it is taken out of a nap... just like a human. If the car is preconditioned according to time of day, it seems to be ready to roll as soon as you get in.
Some things I wonder about.... @verygreen had an interesting data capture regarding some confusion between image uploads labeled slope up and slope down, and this makes sense to me because the car struggles most at the bottom of a hill. Look at this video at 1:00... it consistently makes me almost disengage at the bottom of the hill, just before it goes up again.
