An insurance chief has said babies which are born today may never need to take a driving lesson due to driverless cars.

Amanda Blanc, the chief executive of the UK branch of Axa, has made the prediction based on the advancing technology of autonomous vehicles. 

She added that the cars could be on the roads by 2032, and with that in mind, it was 'crucial' the insurance industry prepare for what could happen in the event of an accident.

Speaking to the Telegraph, Ms Blanc said: 'Driverless cars will not be able to take to the roads [without that],' she said, adding that insurers have a key role to play in understanding the risks involved.

However, she added autonomous cars are arguably 'much safer and increase mobility for vulnerable members of society.'
