All these idiots in cars and vans are one extra reason why I'm happy autonomous cars will soon roam the streets. This seems to be the terrorist tactic of choice since what happened in Nice.
It's an easily accessible weapon against a soft, virtually impossible to defend target. Physical barriers between vehicles and people is the only fix, self-driving cars are probably going to have overrides for a long time. Even fully autonomous cars will likely be hackable to override for human control.
