There is not a definite answer to this question, based on the limited information which you have provided. A lot depends on the practices which may or may not be employed by your insurance company. Many companies can and will obtain information from the Secretary of State's Office. They would find out about the DUI case. When you obtain auto insurance coverage, the insurance company usually asks you to certify on your application who will drive the car. If you did not name your son, then they may conclude that you breached a warranty or promise to them. Some companies will decline to pay for a loss(acccident) if the driver was someone "to whom the vehicle was available for regular use" but not listed as a driver. The definite concrete answers depend on your company. If you have a good relationship with the agent, then you may wish to discuss everything with him. You may wish to take a hard line and tell your son that he cannot use the car. It is POSSIBLE (not certain) that the whole episode will slide through and your insurance company will be none the wiser.

What if someone else get a DUI under my auto insurance?

If they were the permissive driver of your vehicle in an accident (and got the dui), your policy will be paying for the damages (subject to any policy exclusions, and assuming the drunk was at fault) Insurance stays with the vehicle. So any rate increase that this accident generates will be on your policy, as well (of course) as your collison deductible. If you are asking what happens if they were just driving your vehicle and got a dui, no accident or loss. I doubt anything will happen. You might want to rethink who you let drive your vehicle though.
