The '''Vehicular Direct Neural Interface''' was a special type of cybernetic implant developed for the [[Manei Domini]].  The system worked in principle similar to the [[Clans]]' [[Enhanced Imaging]] system, allowing [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarriors]], [[aerospace fighter]] pilots, [[battle armor]] troopers and even [[combat vehicle]] and [[Small Craft]] crews to "become one" with their machines.  Unlike the EI system, however, VDNI was able to ward off the short-term negative effects of the technology by employing improved circuit breakers and forcing users to regularly ingest a special chemical agent.<ref name=JHS>''Jihad Hot Spots: 3072'', p. 129, 131</ref>

Still, those who used VDNI slowly lost their sanity over the years and, unless removed, by decade's end suffered terminal brain damage.  While allowing a single pilot to control an entire vehicle on their own in place of the normal crew, the pilot still had to possess the requisite skills effectively to do so.  The extensive systems necessary for a VDNI-equipped vehicle to function also meant no one without VDNI implants could pilot the vehicle.  VDNI was incompatible with [[Buffered VDNI]] and only available to Manei Domini of Omega rank and higher.<ref name=JHS/>
