On the bright side, all these vehicular attacks lately are going to accelerate the uptake of self driving vehicles. Can't run people over if your car won't let you.

That could actually help abit. Safety features in cars that prevent them from running over people.

Like cars with camra's that auto-break if they see you about to hit a person.

Whoa, I like the idea, but that would have so many problems.

Imagine a person walking on to a motorway in that scenario.

Or people learning the break distance and simply walking across roads at anytime/point potenially causing a litany of other accidents.

An outside influence that can force stop a tonne of fast moving metal is not nessecarily going to make things safer.
