As for this terrorist strike its a tragedy. I wonder if events like these will be used in twenty years to justify making cars fully-autonomous by law and removing the steering wheels, making sure that the firmwares can't be flashed, and stuff like that.

It looks like radical Islamic terrorism. Driss Oukabir, who rented the van used to kill 13, is a Moroccan although one source is claiming he was born in Marseille, France.
Wolf Blitzer of CNN is wondering if it is a "copycat" of what happened in Charlottesville apparently ignorant of how often vehicles have been used in Europe (Paris, London, Stockholm, Berlin and most notably in Nice, France where 87 were killed) to mow down pedestrians in just the last year or so.
Nobody has ever lost money underestimating Blitzer's idiocy.

Depends on how its built as a system, but in general if you get hardware level access you can modify things. I know Tesla is having some security concerns about their cars, not wanting some hacker to gain fleet-wide access and sending all the tesla cars in the US to Vancouver.
For one thing they've separated the systems fairly strongly. An outside hacker gaining access to the dashboard computer, wouldn't have access to the computer controlling auto-nav, or the one controlling the drive-train and braking.
But of course, a terrorist who bought a tesla, and had access to the computer itself would have a far easier time. He could just overwrite whatever was on the computer with a new system.
Still, I wonder if events like this, along with autonomous vehicles eventually proving themselves safer would cause a radical shift in law regarding people being able to steer cars.

And then I think that I'm so used to driving when I'm in a car that sitting in a car while it drives me around would feel super weird.I DENOUNCE DONALD J. TRUMP AND ALL HIS IMMORAL ACTS.

Just seems like an enormous number of potential variables to me. As someone who's done a little bit of computer programming, the idea of programming an autonomous car--with all of the weird liability issues associated with it--would scare the crap out of me.I DENOUNCE DONALD J. TRUMP AND ALL HIS IMMORAL ACTS.

It will take 10-20 years for the tech to be in the top of the range cars, go down to the bottom of the range cars and finally filter through the second and third hand car markets.
(I think the tech is definitely coming, but until it's permeated the second and third hand car market, it's difficult to make laws against it....which is why the UK law for no more petrol/diesel cars by circa 2040 makes sense as it allows the new tech to work its way through the markets)Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.
