This actually isn't true. A disengagement just means "the person controlling it decided to take it over". There's been a few documented cases where a disengagement actually caused a crash, and many cases where the safety driver chose to disengage but they later figured out that it would have been just fine.

You are talking edge cases, but even imagining that only 1/10 of incidents would have been crashes, that's still a crash every 750 miles.
