First mention of using driverless vehicles as weapons I recall was Daemon by Daniel Suarez.

IRobot (the film) predates that and uses the idea https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I,_Robot_(film)

I forgot if any of the IRobot short stories used the concept - if they do they would predate the movie.

First mention of self driving cars becoming sentient and turning on humans I’m aware of, from 1953!

Maybe one day I'll re-read Daemon. A book not so far ahead of its time.

Might feel a little too close to home to re-read.

I'll never forget the gig worker assembly scene.

Don't forget the eighth 'The Fast and the Furious' movie.
