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.
