I would say a rigger gets a normal initiative for the purposes of
determining attacks (VCR included) without having to spend an action to
control the vehicle since its not moving (or maybe he would have to spend an
action just to keep control of vehicle systems?). I would say no position
test since the three options are Fight, Flee and Pursue, apparently
reffering to moving vehicles.

As for the last one, most GMs I've played with allow the rigger to target
one weapon and the autopilot fires the others (using its rating as its
weapon skill).
