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?

No one needs a control rig to control a drone.

This is a correct statement for anybody.
SR4 no longer requires a VCR...
The Control Rig gives bonus dice to anyone using it, but is not required.

They still might want to get one for the +2 dice roll bonus, despite the loss of resonance.
A control rig, a datajack (might as well allow access to hard wired systems) and .4 essence worth of bioware.
Hell a technomancer could make an excellent rigger. Everyone tries to make the technomancer duplicate a hacker but why not go the rigger way.

hmm, true. and with a couple of machine sprites in place, those drones could be almost life like

maybe those TM's are a reply to the request for rigger adepts? oh wait, one can be a true rigger adept these days...
and now that i think about it, on almost all images of TM's they are presented with a drone or more close by...

Actually Alice tended to be more of a drone rigger, though also covers the hacking aspects.
TM can make very impressive riggers.
Especially depending on how generous your GM is with:

A friendly machine sprite running diagnostics giving bonus dice to any use of that device.... one would presume drones are a device

command CF boosted to ludicrous amounts FTW!
(throw in codeslinger(control device) for good measure, if you're feeling like extra cheese).

do i need to post the cheese-0-matic 400 technomantic vehicle control specialist again? (technically not a rigger, but better in every way imo... see the previous post for the basic concept)
