Does a technomancer need a Control Rig to operate vehicles and drones? I would assume they don't, and that they just wouldn't get the benfit of the +2 dice pool bones on all vehicle checks. Is my understanding correct?

Hell a technomancer could make an excellent rigger. Everyone tries to make the technomancer duplicate a hacker but why not go the rigger way.

Actually Alice tended to be more of a drone rigger, though also covers the hacking aspects.
TM can make very impressive riggers.

A friendly machine sprite running diagnostics giving bonus dice to any use of that device.... one would presume drones are a device
I think its time for a techo-rigger challange or something.
