This is so cool, imagine it would meet Perseverance and the droids would engage in some <strike>battle</strike> friendly cooperation! Q: Are the landing sites

Q: Are the landing sites even remotely close to each other?
Q: Had any of sides incorporated this somehow unexpected counterpart into their master programs? Can they update the programs at all?
Edit: grammar
- upbeat_general 5y agoAt least JPL can certainly update the code in its rovers (at least the main programs, probably not various firmware). I doubt they incorporated the knowledge of another rover in their code but I believe JPL rovers are “driven” by humans and do not explore autonomously. Due to the delay, the commands are slightly higher level (short term setpoints) but the point is that a human would have to command the rover to drive into another; it wouldn’t happen automatically.
