there is no where that states a Piloted Vehicle cannot take an action unless it is Piloted?

What do the vehicle rules say? Maybe if you quoted them you'd find your answer.

From the Player's Guide (as well as all vehicle cards):

no where in the rules on the card for Vehicles does it say this, but an opponent last weekend argued that he read somewhere and i am now just getting around to researching it, i dont have access to a Players Guide or whatnot right now sorry for not reposting the rules in question

thank you, this i what i thought, i just wanted to make sure i didnt miss something somewhere

I'm not 100% sure on this, but I don't believe that the vehicle rules are printed on the motorcycle cards. It was printed on all the Batman set vehicles because it was a brand new mechanic being introduced with that set. I think Split/merge was the same. Printed on the CW duos and no duos since. Again, not 100% sure, but I believe it is this way.

I have all the vehicles from streets of gotham and this is included on all of them.

The reason Split/Merge disappeared was cause it was added to the rule book at that point. Vehicles have not reached that point yet.
