What is a "rigger tank"? The rigger does not need any special seating,
etc, to rig. If he wants saftey seating, and such, those are available
in both rigger books. If you really are ludicrously safety concious,
rig from a "Stabilization Unit"- basic book, biotech equipment. It's
given a weight, and I'd say it ocupies as much space as a bed or
non-folding bench seat.

Depends on its orders. I'd say it follows its orders, using the
sensors and vehicle defenses as would a rigger, except of course rolling
its pilot rating and such.
Could be very nasty, could just drive away.
