Both. The purchaser benefits in knowing that the property title has been researched and will be stood behind to cover losses and legal costs to protect you property title. The seller benefits in the same way, being that as long as you are not the type to try to defraud someone by selling property you don't own without question, you don't have to worry about the buyer taking you to court and running you into bankruptcy. If, however you aren't absolutely certain you have free and clear title, understand that should the title insurance company have a loss for something you knew about or should have known about, that you will be sued by them and will pay all their losses and legal costs.

If the car won't pass smog but the buyer still wants to purchase the car is the seller still responsible?

Sold as is means you are not responsible. You are selling it as it is. Unfortunately in California there is no AS-IS clause for vehicle sales. If it is registered as operational and you sold as operational then the seller is responsible for smogging it. The title of an operational registered vehicle can NOT be transfered without a smog certificate. If it does not pass smog, the purchaser can require the seller to pay for repairs to pass smog. The work around is to register the vehicle as Planed Non-operation (PNO) and sell the vehicle as non-operational. It may not be driven or parked on a public street and would need to be towed from it's residence by the purchaser. The purchaser would then not be able to drive or operate the vehicle on public roads until they registered it as operational. The purchaser would be responsible at that point for smogging the vehicle since they would be the title holder at that time.

Does switching a car title do anything to car insurance?

Only to the extent that the person must have an insurable interest in the car. If I transferred title to you on my car I can no longer insure it since I have no insurable interest in the car. If you transferred title to your child who still lives at home you could continue to insure it.
