I also saw this press release

Curiosity Can Now Drive Itself Across The Martian Surface (Source: Forbes)
Over the past year, the Mars rover Curiosity has covered a lot of ground on the Martian surface. But during that time, its been controlled from back on Earth, by human drivers. That’s now changed. Yesterday, NASA announced that Curiosity has been updated with the capability for autonomous driving. The software was adapted from that used by Curiosity‘s cousin, Opportunity, to autonomously drive elsewhere on Mars.

I guess the NASA engineers had to put Curiosity in the shipping crate before autonomous mode was complete.
