NASA just let AI take the wheel on Mars Perseverance autonomously navigated 456 meters using AI-generated waypoints — a big deal when you're dealing with a 25-minute signal delay to Earth. This is exactly the kind of real-world deployment that shows where autonomous systems are actually proving their worth: environments where human control simply isn't practical.

NASA Let AI Drive the Perseverance Rover

In December, NASA took another small, incremental step towards autonomous surface rovers. In a demonstration, the Perseverance team used AI to generate the rover’s waypoints. Perseverance used the AI waypoints on two separate days, traveling a total of 456 meters without human control.“This demonstration shows how far our capabilities have advanced and broadens how we will explore other worlds,” said NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman. “Autonomous technologies like this can help missions
