Deployment
Yutu-2 Rover at Global
China's lunar far-side rover, deployed by the Chang'e 4 lander (first far-side soft landing, 2019-01-03). Operated primarily by ground command across the Earth-Moon light delay; Chinese sources describe autonomous navigation/obstacle-detection capability, but the specific hazard-avoidance behavior is not corroborated in English-language primary sources (verified-vs-claimed: stated as claimed-capability, not verified). Still mobile as of 2025 (1.6+ km traversed), the longest-lived lunar rover.
