I think Assange and the conspiracy-wing of the internet have let themselves run away with this 'Vault 7' hype when the substance is mundane. All they've really done is embarrassed the CIA but obtained the material but that material isn't evidence of anything especially nefarious. It's not even the deployment of these exploits but the investigation of those exploits.

What part of controlling vehicles is used to gather information?
None but it's an obvious security issue. The CIA will want to learn how to do it. Yes maybe they'll use it for covert assassinations too. They are the CIA. Although I suspect this exploit is overblown too because there is no mass provider or platform for self-driving cars so the question would be what they've actually broke into here.
