Well, I knew they were autonomous, as in "go over there and do some testing, and call us when you're finished", and the rover would drive x meters avoiding rocks and such, then do some testing on the rocks. I just wasn't sure how much you could tell it to do at one time and go home at night knowing it'll do it by morning.

That's Amtrak's solution when the time changes. They stop the trains for an hour every fall. (In the spring they're an hour late. Well, an hour
more late.
) My boss, however, would have found something for me to do for those 40 minutes....
