I don't see any signs of Oppy doing the multiple turns in place we have seen before during backward autonav. Could this be a 110 meter blind drive made possible by the shorter ripples?

Could this be a 110 meter blind drive made possible by the shorter ripples? http://qt.exploratorium.edu/mars/opportuni...00P1907R0M1.JPG Perhaps Maxwell's new comments explain this: QUOTE Over the weekend, we did a 105m drive that tested another approach to hazard-avoidance driving (in last 5m). More extensive test Wednesday. QUOTE This would use the RHAZ for hazard-avoidance driving. Didn't work on the plains -- too featureless -- but might work well on this outcrop. QUOTE If using RHAZ works, we can do true autonav and should be able to extend drive distances. My current goal is 140m/sol -- doubling previous.
