NASA Plans to Unleash a Wolf Pack of Rovers Onto the Lunar Surface in 2024 - by scottyj_phd
Some of the planned tests for CADRE include driving in formation while maintaining relative positions from each other, all while avoiding potentially dangerous or rough terrain. In another test, they will use stereo cameras to create a 3D topographical map of a 400 square meter area.

But the Moon is a hazardous environment nonetheless, and they will be pushed to their limits keeping their power supply and cooling systems in working order. Part of CADRE’s testing campaign will involve ensuring the cooperative autonomy software on board each rover has enough power to run their processors.
Assuming all goes well, the rovers are carrying scientific instruments too. In particular, they have ground penetrating radar that can peer as deep as 10 meters below the lunar surface. Working in tandem, they will be able to create a 3D map of the subsurface that a single rover wouldn’t be able to do on its own.
