1. A method of generating a driving difficulty heat map for autonomous vehicles, the method comprising:
inputting, by one or more processors, log data generated by a vehicle being driven in a manual driving mode for a segment of a route into a disengage model in order to generate an output identifying a likelihood of a vehicle driving in an autonomous driving mode requiring a disengage from the autonomous driving mode along the segment of the route, the log data being collected within a geographic area;
generating, by the one or more processors, a grid for the geographic area, the grid including a plurality of cells;
assigning, by the one or more processors, the output to one of the plurality of cells;
using, by the one or more processors, the plurality of cells and assigned output to generate a driving difficulty heat map for the geographic area; and
identifying, by the one or more processors, a geographic area to be excluded from a service area for the autonomous vehicles in real time based on the driving difficulty heat map.
