The theoretical "additional license" would be in addition to maintaining awareness, not a substitution. So all the normal road awareness, plus being informed of likely FSD failure conditions, and anticipating them / being ready and capable to intercede.

If you maintain control at all times, you shouldn’t need additional training for any of the car’s features. We don’t require additional training for cruise control, lane-keep assistance, anti-lock brakes, etc.

>There’s no additional training or license that permits you to stop maintaining that awareness and control

Being a cop on duty often exempts you from distracted driving laws.

I'm not sure how they can do stuff on a laptop while driving safely but I assume the state knows best. /s

I agree, but if you have to maintain constant control of the vehicle then it isn't self-driving.
