Let's say you "jump in" to a drone, or a rigger equipped car, but you have no control rig. What does this gain you? Near as I can figure, you will use your command prgram rating instead of the pilot rating of the drone, which *might* be an improvement (depending on how good your program is, and how good the drone brain is). Drones already get 2 extra initiative passes, so no gain there. You do get the option I suppose of more spontaneous decision making, rather than relying on the AI, but for a car (where a drone brain isn't even relevant), you basically use command rating instead of your attribute (reaction, intuition...whatever is called for). Again, that *might* be an improvement for some, but it may not be. If a hacker has reaction 4, and a command 4 program, does he gain anything for jumping in to his Eurocar?
