What are the risks of the Lunar Rover?

If it broke down the astronauts would have had to walk back. Since one of the Rovers went over 17 miles, coming and going, this could mean quite a hike, around 8 miles or thereabouts (since the 17 miles was not in a straight line). The Rover had a separate motor for each wheel, so if one or even two conked out they could still have made it back.

What does a lunar rover need?

A lunar rover needs to be equipped with solar panels for power generation, high-resolution cameras for navigation and scientific observations, mobility systems such as wheels or tracks for movement, communication equipment for transmitting data back to Earth, and scientific instruments for conducting experiments on the lunar surface. Additionally, it would require thermal management systems to cope with the extreme temperature variations on the Moon.
