I've often wonder about this too. We play that if the rigger doesn't
have some sort of remote camera or speaker-system to split his
concentration between, he can't really interact with the players in his
vehicle (a comm link counts, too). But I haven't purchased R2, yet.

What does VR2 say about it? Anyone (else) feel brave or daring enough
to 'schlogg' those rules for an answer?

Hmmm, 1 Karma Point. Letsee ;9 That'd be ".9" to Good Karma which
rounds to a "1" and ".1" to the K-Pool which rounds ...
