Where would you drive? What are the interesting rocks to study? Is it better not to drive and use the energy instead to obtain high-resolution images? Should we drive only a little bit to get closer to the outcrop and use remote spectroscopic techniques to analyze specific rocks? What is the darker material near us? Are they outcrops, rocks with different composition or just shadows? This image is a composition of four pictures from the rover Navcams that were used for the SOWG mission scenario on AMASE 2009.
