Remote controlled car bomb.
Driverless cars, robots, all available as weapons to the terrorist as well as to the wealthy elite as toys.

[From article]
Major Chris Hunter, a former special forces bomb technician, writes that the Islamic State is moving closer to being able to attack commercial aviation and that it possesses weapons expertise that eclipses anything any terror group has ever achieved.
[. . .]
Hunter notes that the Islamic State’s possession of chemical weapons coupled with these unmanned, remote-controlled vehicles is “truly the stuff of nightmares.”
Stuart Ramsay, Sky News Chief Correspondent, expands on Hunter’s report, confirming that the Islamic State has a cadre of scientists and weapons experts at their disposal who are developing weapons and training jihadists with plans to carry out “spectacular” attacks in Europe along with attacks on passenger jets and military aircraft.
[. . .]
And it’s a bit disconcerting, to say the least, that a news outlet would possess such valuable intelligence, but Western intelligence agencies would be in the dark.
Sky News came into possession of the training videos after an Islamic State trainer who had the videos was captured in Syria (by what’s left of the Free Syrian Army) as he was traveling through Turkey en route to Europe. The FSA passed the videos on to Sky News. And Sky News passed the videos on to the authorities in the U.K. A weapons adviser to the British military described them as an intelligence “gold mine.”

The Foreign Office responded with a statement: “Daesh will use all measures at their disposal to cause harm, and Britain will never be cowed by such terrorists. Our values are so much stronger than theirs. It will take time but this is an organisation that is losing territory and will be defeated.”
Please tell me I didn’t just read that.
“Our values” are stronger than theirs? Well, yes they are. (Duh.) But right now, the Islamic State is waging war, and the West is indeed “cowed.” The Islamic State is waging war with increasingly sophisticated weapons, and we’re showing up with our values – values that won’t mean a damn thing if we’re all slaughtered.
