Tharsis Yard completed acceptance testing on serial 014 and serial 015 of the Carriage class this month and transferred both vehicles to JPL's Mars Yard for the joint MRS / JPL terrain-response trial program. The 90-day program will exercise the autonomy fallback layer under closed-loop perception faults and characterize crew-rated brake performance on simulated regolith slopes up to 28 degrees.

Results will feed directly into the v3 autonomy stack release scheduled for first delivery in Q3 2027.
