“Perseverance” a Self-Driving Car for NASA Next Mars Mission
NASA is expected to launch its latest Mars rover, Perseverance, on a first-of-its-kind mission to the Red Planet. Its job is to collect and store geological samples so they can eventually be returned to Earth. Perseverance will spend its days poking the Jezero Crater, an ancient Martian river delta. For that, it needs some damn good computers at least by Martian standards.
