  Perseverance "self drives" at 0.1mph on a nearly flat, static landscape with zero other threats or moving objects. (Sure, it's a hostile landscape with regards to dust/temperature/radiation. And getting to Mars and landing safely is a fiendishly difficult task. But those aren't concerns of the self-driving system...) https://science.nasa.gov/resource/how-perseverance-drives-on-mars/ https://science.nasa.gov/resource/how-perseverance-drives-on... The problem space is truly not comparable to that of a drone that needs to navigate an actively hostile, evolving environment in three dimensions at two orders of magnitude greater speed.
