I mean.....I wouldn't say it's normal, but that doesn't mean it's political.
In this case, I'd label it as terrorism even if it's not political. He intentionally drove his car into a crowd with the intent of causing harm. Political or not, that's still terrorism.
I disagree with you twice over:
Terrorism is defined as "politically-motivated violence."
Pedestrians and cyclists ("vulnerable road users") may not be protected classes, but in a lot of ways they're treated similarly to racial or sexual minorities. Maybe most people wouldn't consider violence by drivers motivated by hate for other road users to be "political," but they should.
Terrorism is, by definition, political.
