There was a piece on Radio 4 last week about this. If I remember correctly the third party will always be insured by the car maker. As long as the car has not been altered or tampered with in any way by the owner then the insurance will cover all loses. However, if the car has been tampered with , then the third party will be covered, but not the owner.
I don't think it is possible to have driverless cars. There are are just too many randoms. including some clever cunts who will think throwing themselves at them is an easy way to make money from an insurance claim..
