one thing I had read claimed that the ability to crash a car remotely(for assassination) was part of the offensive nature of the vault 7 programs.

Is that accurate?

all cars will be uber & amazon Drone cars soon and you wont be able to choose where you go.
you will be told where to go.
getting into a taxi will be the same as willingly getting locked up in a prison with a loaded gun pointed at you.

why would a government agency bother wasting their budget when the private sector & public choice is going to do the job for them ?
