With the normal remote-control deck mentioned in SR, the rigger uses a
screen and joystick (or whatever) to control the vehicle, in fact I
picture it as being pretty much like operating a radio-controlled car or
airplane today.

The RBB mentions cybered remote control decks, into which you can plug
your VCR; this is mentioned on page 103, appropriately enough under Remote
Control Decks.
