	Mars colonization will require the use of a great number of construction vehicles. Some of these will be autonomous, some will require human operators.		Transportation on Mars may be done through the use of surface vehicles, analogous to cars and trucks on Earth. Mars colonization will also require the use of a great number of construction vehicles. Some of these will be autonomous, some will require human operators.

	Self driving trucks are already making inroads in Earth [[mining]] operations. In the near future, self driving trucks and self driving cars will become part of our everyday lives. This will become even truer on Mars. The initial Mars Exploration [[Rovers]] will rapidly be superseded by specialized vehicles, such as trucks, cranes and the Martian equivalent of cars, both inside and outside the settlement.
