The Soviet robot rovers are mentioned in the article

In fact Lunakhod 1, the first successful robot rover on the Moon placed
there in 1970, is a potential unknown threat, as they lost contact with
it and do not know precisely where it is or if its laser reflectors are open.

We are safe with Lunakhod 3, however, as sadly it sits in a museum on Earth.
