According to the BIKI, in the EntityKilled mission event handler _instigator is objNull when something is killed via vehicular manslaughter.
As of 2.18 that no longer seems to be the case. Instigator is always the driver.

Steps To Reproduce
addMissionEventHandler["EntityKilled", {
params[["_killed",objNull,[objNull]], ["_killer",objNull,[objNull]], ["_instigator",objNull,[objNull]], ["_useEffects",false,[true]]];
#define NULLORTYPE(E) (if isNull E then [{"(NULL)"},{typeOf E}])
diag_log format["killed=%1;killer=%2;instigator=%3", typeOf _killed, NULLORTYPE(_killer), NULLORTYPE(_instigator)];
#undef NULLORTYPE
}];Using e.g. a Hunter HMG, it doesn't matter if I run a dude over or kill him with the HMG; the log output is the same with the instigator being the player.
This happens in 3DEN, MP self-hosted and MP dedicated.
