Curiosity turns on self-driving software, can now navigate Mars on its own

There's a flat, panoramic version of the image (seen above and embedded below), or, my personal favorite, a cylindrical view (embedded below). The photo clearly shows such Martian celebrities as John Klein (the first drilling of an extraplanetary rock), Yellowknife Bay, and the Bird-Shaped Rock (a favorite of the conspiracy theorists).
