'''Notes:'''
* When an unit enters a vehicle crew position, it gets assigned the vehicle role automatically for the given crew position.
* The unit does not have to be in the vehicle when getting the role assignment (ie via assignAsXXX or human/AI GL getIn radio commands).
* GL getIn radio commands result in instant assignment - the unit does not yet have to occupy the crew position.
* Dying units will let go of the assigned role after a few seconds - seems the delay is independent of being in the vehicle or not.
* An unit will hold on to its assigned role after exiting the vehicle.
* One has to use [[unassignVehicle]] (and stop an AI GL to assign vehicle positions again) or [[leaveVehicle]] to remove the assignment - or assigned to another vehicle.
* A vehicle position/role can only be assigned to one unit at a time. So even when not (visually) occupied, the "seat" may be blocked/reserved by another unit.
* A player can still get into the vehicle position already assigned if not already taken, or switch seats with AI (if [[leader]] or [[effectiveCommander]] for those AI).

When player is in a group of AIs and is not the leader, assignedVehicleRole of the player could be unpredictable and absolutely not related to the position player occupies. In short, forget about this command for the player, it is unreliable and has been broken too many times in the past.
