Wait, we’re hacking cars to commit assassinations? I didn’t know this. Who have we assassinated via this method, so far?

I don’t know, maybe this guy?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Hastings_(journalist)

Former U.S. National Coordinator for Security, Infrastructure Protection, and Counter-terrorism Richard A. Clarke said that what is known about the crash is “consistent with a car cyber attack”. He was quoted as saying “There is reason to believe that intelligence agencies for major powers — including the United States — know how to remotely seize control of a car. So if there were a cyber attack on [Hastings’] car — and I’m not saying there was, I think whoever did it would probably get away with it.”

That was written 4 years ago.
