Why vehicle skills?
Driver (to passenger): "Look, I can sit backwards, bend my arm through my
legs, over my head, and still touch the steering wheel!"
Passenger (looking confused): "What are you doing?!?! Just drive!"
And I don't think riggers would benefit from articulation, they just sit
there and control the vehicle with their mind. As far as I can tell,
vehicles in 2050 don't require all that much physical manipulation from a
driver, so why would the driver benefit from enhanced articulation?
