   #NASA's #Curiosity rover (on Mars), got a major software upgrade, the first one since 2016. 180 changes:
   https://mars.nasa.gov/news/9378/nasas-curiosity-mars-rover-gets-a-major-software-upgrade/

   Big changes:
   • Thinking while driving: similar to #Perseverance's AutoNav, albeit without the dedicated hardware
   • Less steering, depending on rocks under the wheels: a previously rejected "nice to have" feature, now implemented
   • Easier software patches
   • More efficient and accurate robotic arm and masthead pointing
