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.
The beta is going to testers only after they prove that they pay attention. There is no other way to test this other than on normal roads.
CNN fake news and all other media constantly attack tesla. Main reason for this is they pay 0 for advertisements and is going to bury the old school car companies.
Eh. I've been on military training sites that are like small towns. Road systems etc. There's no reason you couldn't populate one of those with threats and do a significant amount of fact/bug finding whilst still in a control environment. More expensive though I guess than just letting rip on public roads.

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