What it needs is a couple of major motor insurers to stand up and say "on the present showing we will not be quoting to insure automomous vehicles"

I think you'll find that insurers are pretty keen on autonomous vehicles. They know how shit a lot of human drivers and also the value of the data collected. In legal terms the case in San Francisco against GM is likely to be much more relevant than Uber's fuckup. Insurance is likely to be one of the biggest carrots for autonomous vehicles.
