Road Train Approaching

The SARTRE project (Safe Road Trains for the Environment) has successfully completed the first test demonstrations of a multiple vehicle platoon.

The test fleet included a lead truck followed by three cars driven entirely autonomously at speeds of up to 90 km/h -- with no more than 6 metres gap between the vehicles.

The SARTRE project is being driven by seven European partners and is the only one of its kind to focus on the development of technology that can be implemented on conventional highways in which platooned traffic operates in a mixed environment with other road users.

I like driving, plus I get motion sickness while reading/watching vids in a car so this would be completely pointless! :P

We have tractors that do this too. It's really cool, but the problem is they lose connection a lot, and when they lose connection they dont steer anymore. Its fine if you're in a field, you're not going to hit anything, but if you were using it on a road chances are A LOT of accidents would happen.

Wait, checking your email is more important than dedicating your time to concentrating car driving? THE FUCK.
