So you have to sit in the driver's seat, have your feet near the pedal, have your hands hovering over the wheel and be looking out for hazards and this is "full automation"? lol. I'll stick to my manual ICE thanks. The technology simply isn't there yet.
When I can "drive" to a bar, get hammered and then get in the back seat and have my car drive me home, then I would be interested. Honestly though, I don't foresee automated cars being available to consumers. Companies running taxi services perhaps. Just imagine the insurance implications for a regular person. You're sitting there reading a book or something with the car driving itself and then boom, accident. Imagine the investigations. The manufacturer trying to wriggle out of taking responsibility, your insurance company doing the same. It would be a nightmare.
You wouldn't think self driving cars still in beta would be allowed on public roads. Seems like a liability to me.
But yeah, I've always thought it would make sense for Tesla to offer insurance direct. Despite the speeds they're capable off, possible higher fire risk and general high cost, I imagine they're involved in less accidents due to their safety features. So despite when there is a crash or whatever when the fix will cost a lot, the amount of claims will be profitable compared to the premiums Tesla will rake in.

It's beta. Also Tesla is aiming at insuring it's own vehicles.
