Depends on interpretation.
I wanted to create beings that could allow others access to their ER and that would be playable as PCs. If you have Controls on a Vehicle you can use all its powers as if you were in control (or just one with dedicated controls).
That lets you drive the vehicle or uses its weapons.
However if it has an ER then you can use that too. The question of will the ER only power its stuff or can be tapped to power yours is a judgement call.
If both use the same power source (say has the magic PM) then I see tapping it the same as tapping a Mana Basin or Powerstone.
So your tapping its power to power your spells.
