These are totally different scenarios.

- PartiallyTyped 3y agoImagine tapping into a fleet of autonomous electric cars and running them at 120mph towards an important person. Like I get bulletproof cars, but the stopping power of a single electric car at 4000kg accelerating to 120mph in a matter of seconds changes the calculus completely and that’s before accounting for battery explosions or chemical fires. Doing that with a single car today without remote execution is a suicide attack, but an army of hackers? Good lord, this sounds like a doomsday scenario.
