The way I understand it, rigged vehicles still have normal controls as well,
so anybody familiar with them can take over. Also, to install rigger
controls, you also need a datajack link in the vehicle, so anybody with a
datajack can also plug in (though without all the rigger's advantages).
Furthermore, wouldn't the commander and gunner also be rigged? That solves
one more problem: driver dead? plug in the commander. Probably from the
commander's station, without him/her having to squeeze into the driver's seat.
