Curiosity turns on self-driving software, can now navigate Mars on its own

2013-08-28 15:30:44| Extremetech

Roughly 200 million miles away on the surface of the Red Planet, NASA's Curiosity just one-upped Google: It autonomously drove across the surface of Mars without human supervision. The autonav software will help Curiosity reach its destination, Mount Sharp, much more quickly because the rover won't have to wait for driving instructions from NASA -- it can just plug away at the remaining kilometers autonomously.
