The British government is working on a new bill that would regulate insurance and liability for accidents involving cars operating in autonomous mode. When such a law is passed it would pioneer how authorities around the world should deal with new technologies in the motoring industry. One of the objectives of the new bill is to ensure accident victims can easily claim compensation if a crash occurs when a car is in autonomous mode. Insurers could still try to recover the costs from the vehicle's manufacturer. There will also be exceptions to full cover if, for example, a vehicle owner has made unauthorized changes to the car's software; and if he fails to install an update that his policy asks him to then the driver becomes liable.
