While some of these attacks are likely to be rage / revenge related the chance of using vehicles for mass assault is obviously the new terror weapon of choice due to its easy availability.
So I look forward to 'AI' and the inevitable automated vehicles. Trucks and delivery vehicles are the obvious starting point as they have a pre-mappable route, can stick to the inside lane on motorways/dual carriageways, and avoid town/city centres while travelling between out of town delivery hubs, until the software is good enough to mix more thoroughly with less predictable traffic and human interactions.
For one I'm no longer bothered that driving a car will at some point in the near future become a thing of the past. The roads are full of numpties, cash generating scameras, and are in such a poor pot holed state that I prefer driving a van with it's soft suspension and don't give a **** 'white van man' attitude than a sports car.
Though this is just treating the symptom not the problem. Ban all religion until god proves 'he' exists. It'll be a long wait.

Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostA fresh attack remains as likely as before the attack, but plod and the spooks have no specific intelligence about one. Not too hard to comprehend.
The driver is a recently British fellow of Sudanese origin, so probably Muslim, but no motive has been announced although it's still be treated as a terrorist incident.

Originally posted by darmstadt View PostSo what is it:
Police have not launched a manhunt in relation to the attack, and said there was no one else in the car and no intelligence of a further risk to the public in London or elsewhere in Britain.
Theresa May has said the UK's terror threat level remains at "severe", following this morning's crash.
It means a fresh attack is highly likely.

Westminster terror attack: CCTV shows car mowing down cyclists | Daily Mail Online
Police raid addresses in Nottingham and Birmingham over Westminster 'terror attack': British suspect who WAS known to officers but not MI5 'used a Ford Fiesta bought two months ago to mow down 15 cyclists'
Terror suspect in twenties arrested after Ford Fiesta hit crowds and smashed into barriers outside Parliament
Suspect was pulled from the car by armed officers who surrounded vehicle outside St Stephen's entrance
Unnamed man is refusing to co-operate or give any potential motive but he may have aimed at police officers
Pedestrians and cyclists describe car on wrong side of road then swerving deliberately to hit them at 50mph
Crash came 17 months after Khalid Masood killed 5 on Westminster Bridge before murdering PC Keith Palmer
Security beefed up since then and Ford Fiesta was stopped by new barrier able to repel speeding lorry
Did you see the incident or know the arrested man? Email [email protected]
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/...-of-parliament
It is understood police have identified the man and that he is from the Midlands. The owner of the car is known to police, the Guardian understands, although it is unclear whether the suspect is that owner.

Originally posted by vetran View PostUsing single or dual attackers in multiple waves is hardly confusing, its standard tactics.
Maybe the person caught is known to fraternise with other suspects who have gone underground, therefore future attacks are likely?
