Computers and Vehicles

Can a computer use the powers/skills on a vehicle if it has the neccessary program or does it need to the have the ability itself?

As noted on 5ER 460, “Most programs require one or more Skills to be useful.” If doing or using something requires a Skill, typically a Computer must have that Skill to do or use that thing. Programs are not substitutes for Skills in most cases — they’re instructions for how to use Skills. Programming a Computer to “Drive Car” is meaningless if the Computer lacks the appropriate TF, for example. As always, the final decision as to what’s required is up to the GM.
