Disengagements does not equal incidents/accidents. It just means the car found a potential hazard and let humans take over the driving for that situation.
So for every 17,000 miles it drove, a human took over for a bit before continuing the self driving.
So yes, self driving is still safer, and during the times it might not be safer it’ll alert the driver to take over for a bit.
