Whether these rule count as anything near official is another matter. Since the base rules don't create a situation where you might loose a limb, for example, replacing them is irrelevant.
You are correct. Mecha-Shan, the Rolling Tiger, was in the comic 'Car Warriors' (Marvel/Epic imprint, #2 July 1991; #3 , #4 Sept 1991.) Issue #4 gives stats on Mecha-Shan & the Rolling Tiger vehicle.

Was it only like 20 years ago we thought electric power plants were science fiction?

July 2017, 100 Years Ago Today: Eliminating the Driver Component...

Remember when robot drivers were a novelty? This article from early 2017 explores the "first roborace" and it's crashy-smashy conclusion. Meat vs Machine, who wins? It's obvious that in 2017, the humans still had the edge.

First autonomous Roborace event ends with a self-driven crash

and then the autonomous driving races really began!

There should be a Holmgang arena on an island somewhere. Maybe the river between LaCrosse, Wisconsin and La Crescent, Minnesota. Lots of Scandinavian descendents up that way.

What would be the Difficulty of the hazard of seeing a snake on the exterior of a vehicle in motion? What skill modifiers would apply to the snake in trying to enter the vehicle? :o)

Redesigning The Hive from AADA Vehicle Guide 2 with this robot could make for an interesting scenario.
