"NASA's Artemis Mission: Colorado Company's Concept Lunar Vehicle Selected for Moon Mobility"
TL;DR
NASA has selected Intuitive Machines, Lunar Outpost, and Venturi Astrolab to develop lunar terrain vehicles (LTV) for potential use in the upcoming Artemis missions, with one eventually being chosen for a demonstration mission on the moon's south pole. The selected vehicle will need to function as both a crewed and uncrewed vehicle, with potential lunar service contracts through 2039 amounting to a potential value of up to $4.6 billion. The companies will be developing LTVs called Moon Racer, Flex, and Lunar Dawn, all designed to support a crew of two astronauts and withstand the extreme conditions of the lunar south pole.
