Start by mapping out your target's usual movements. Check public records for any fatal collision hot spots in the area. Check out their vehicle. That will determine what you do next.
For instance, if I were trying to kill me, I'd find out that I usually take the same routes to and from work every day, passing twice through one intersection that has a relatively high number of injury accidents, in a Honda. So I would either crack the remote access security of the traffic control computer, or install a device in it that would allow me to control it remotely. I'd break into my car, replacing the air bag with one modified to outwardly resemble those recalled, defective, exploding Takata air bags, but guaranteed to explosively project shrapnel into the driver. This would be relatively easy, as my car is not parked in a secured or observed spot. Then I'd use my remote device and binoculars twice a day, until I saw that I was passing through the dangerous intersection, and try to manipulate the lights to get myself into a t-bone with a larger vehicle at 45 MPH. On impact, the air bag would deploy with metal shrapnel and loose screws, shredding my chest, face, and neck. That, plus any injuries from the collision itself, would likely be fatal. Just in case, the air bag device would also contain cloth infused with resistant bacteria cultured from the local hospital, so that any open wounds would be infected, antibiotic-resistant wounds.
I might also do a weak denial of service attack on the local emergency medical response immediately after the collision, using a recorded message to 911 from a burner phone. The message would suggest a high-priority emergency, such as a stroke or obstructed airway, and hang up.
The other driver would swear that I ran the red light, and I would be too dead to say it was actually green. The local cops would likely just sweep up the glass, rule it as an unfortunate accident, and not investigate further. The auto manufacturer might catch some flak for not mailing me a recall notice for my air bag, but I'd be the 12th recall fatality, and no one would really care. My target's bereaved spouse might even get a settlement.
That would just be for me, though. Someone else might get a flat tire in the wrong spot, or hit a patch of black ice on a day that's too warm for it. Or they might get their onboard computer hacked, or hallucinogenic vapor in their interior air. Or maybe they get catfished by someone who starts sending crisis texts while the target is driving.
Excuse me now, as I'm going to silently rock back and forth in the corner and pretend my world is safe.
