OK, now it's been enough :) Here's the full list of skills that receive +1
die from Enhanced Articulation:

Athletics
Stealth
Armed Combat
Unarmed Combat
Throwing
Projectile Weapons
Firearms
Gunnery

All this coming straight from what I've written in my copy of Shadowtech,
which in turn was copied straight from a message posted on this mailing list
about 1 1/2 years ago, that in turn quoted the (then-)DLoH.

I always think of riggers as still using the physical controls of the car,
except augmented by being "one" with the vehicle. Like, he still uses the
steering wheel to make a turn, but has much finer control over it.
