You can run it several ways. It NAN1 (I think), they talk about breakin
and entering the tank, and they give directions for cracking it. You
can jack into the side of the car (they probably have a data jack on the
side of it, at least for maintenance. Otherwise, try to create some
sort of link. Either radio, or something else.

Personally, I'd much rather let the rigger do it. There need to be some
kind of rules for a RIGGER overriding the programming on a vehicle, and
there need to be some kind of rules for contesting control on a drone.
Plus, how BIG is a drone?
