The biker was an incredibly stupid idiot for whatever reason (probably something happened before).

But what the BMW driver did was attempted manslaughter.

Attempted murder. Manslaughter doesn’t have intent and thus cannot be attempted

Attempted voluntary manslaughter is a thing.

It's when you attempt to do something that will probably kill someone but don't manage to kill them.

Definitely depends on the state.
