When a premiere auto-designer working with Benson unveiled the Autonomy last year, no one quite knew what to make of it.  What was certain, was that it was like nothing we had ever seen before.  Now you too can own one of your own, but be quick, there are only 400 of these in the world, and they are going fast.

 This is not what you think of when you picture an AV.  Developed as an AV version of the pickup truck, the Scab is most often seen around construction crews and loading areas.  While not really built for day to day life, the Scab does barely make the minimum requirements for civilian use, and therefore can be seen being used in the skyways by those who disregard safety for the thrill and benefits of an AV.

The AV-20 design offers AV's to those who normally can't afford them.  Replacing the small ducted vents with one large ducted fan makes the AV-20 is a cheap alternative to the classic design of AV.  It also makes for a relatively safer vehicle, however, because of the large area the ducted fan requires it also means the AV takes needs a large amount of space, making it hard to park at many AV-pads.
