Can you drive a van into a group of people without even being physically present though ?



Yes. https://www.psu.edu/news/campus-life/story/hackers-who-remot...

Even without vulnerabilities like that, something like https://comma.ai/openpilot could very likely be used in the same way ArduPilot was used in the recent Ukrainian drone attacks.

easier than a drone, technically. using the same tools and techniques too.

a van is just a bigger, more inherently stable drone.
