TL;DR Summary

NASA will announce the company or companies selected to develop the rover for its Artemis program of lunar exploration today. The two-person Artemis rover, officially known as the Lunar Terrain Vehicle (LTV), will help astronauts explore the moon's south polar region and is planned to debut no earlier than Artemis 5 in 2030. The rover will be unpressurized, requiring astronauts to wear spacesuits while driving it, and will have a fair degree of autonomy to conduct science work between crewed Artemis missions.
