Yeah, but this does not happen.
Source: How much is a test driver paid?
Exact wages vary at different companies. Cruise, the self-driving arm of General Motors (GENERAL MOTORS), has advertised positions that pay $23 an hour. Meanwhile, Waymo, the self-driving entity of Google's parent company, has posted jobs offering $20 an hour.
Uber declined to disclose how much it pays its safety drivers.

I just bought a car that costs more than the highest optioned Tesla.
According to you, Tesla should be hiring me for FSD beta testing, according to "selection".
I don't even know how to respond to your assertion.

Why does the salary indicate they are not chosen for their ability to do this job well? Do you also believe people who own a Tesla would be better at serving food than most waiters because they have higher income?
You think having money qualifies someone for being a good test driver? This is one of the most classist comments I've ever read.
A responsible company would hire people based on some criteria of competence before putting them in the "supervisor" seat for an AI driving assist. Even an irresponsible company like Tesla or Uber will still do more due diligence for the competency of their test drivers than for their customers, whose only qualification is a wallet.
