NASA's Perseverance rover is set to break the record for most distance driven on another world, surpassing Opportunity's 45.16 km mark. The key enabling technology is its advanced autonomous navigation system, which allows about 90% of its driving to be self-directed — a stark contrast to Curiosity's 10% autonomy due to older computing hardware.
