Now i feel totally ignorant.
Is easy understand(now that you explained to me)how works the sensors.
But in the SRII the vehicles "dont have" sensors atribute...What sensors
level has am eurocar westwind 2000?Toyota elite?etc...
And the remoted "toys"? *waiting The rigger black book yet*

What sensors are installed depends on the vehicle in question -- the RBB
lists the sensor levels for vehicles that have them (the Westwind and
Elite don't have any, BTW) and gives rules for adding them to vehicles
that don't come with sensors as standard. They're expensive, though.

Use the Autopilot Rating of the vehicle.

It depends on the level of autopilot that they have. Autopilot 1 has
basic collision detection/avoidance systems (anti-collision radar)
(and it can't pilot the vehicle). Autopilot 2 can also tap into the
traffic-grid and follow a pre-programmed route over non-rough
terrain. Autopilot 2 can traverse rough terrain. Autopilot 4 can
modify its programmed route. All autopilots are considered to have
rating 0 sensors (useless for targeting weapons).

Rule of thumb; if it has an autopilot, it has rating 0 sensors at
least. They are useless for targeting but suffice for collision
avoidance duties. To rig a vehicle, said vehicle must have at least
rating 1 sensors. They cost 5K NuYen, and don't take any appreciable
space.
