Reply to comment by DBDude in Tesla pauses new Full Self-Driving beta installations until recall is addressed by asteriskspace

We're probably somewhat on the same page. You beta tested to a select group. Their job was to report bugs while assuming the risk that the software was likely still somewhat buggy. Once things were pretty solid, you rolled it out.

I must say I have a hard time considering 363,000 paid installations a "beta."

It is kind of big, but they are selective as to who can join.

Yeah. Anyone on a public road in North America is being forced to beta test deadly tech

Because it's beta, you are supposed to maintain attention and control as you would driving normally. Thus, there's no extra danger, issues are generally on the driver.

If the driver fell asleep, or didn't see a car, that happens all the time with human drivers. Beta FSD will save most of them from themselves, but it may miss a few.
