Just wondering... considering that corporations would like to protect their investments, and the relative low price of for example a VCR1, wouldn't every corp-owned vehicle worth more than 200k:nuyen: have a driver with a VCR?

I think it should be cost effective, getting the most out of your vehicle and since the driver is the vehicle while jacked in, the driver will know much better about need for maintenance and such and there will be less accidents like driving into a lamppost etc.

So, how much must a vehicle (or it's cargo) be worth for it to make sense to have a rigger as a driver? In my opinion, almost everything not beeing cheap and easily replacable.
