What If Your Buggy Breaks Down?

Maybe it's time to experiment with dropping emergency packages on Mars. Right now, it would be to see how long they'd be reliable. They should contain LOX, water, medical supplies, spacesuit repair kits, and high calorie emergency rations. Once we have viable packages, they could be dropped around potential human landing sites.
