Real-world vehicle platooning demo
     


Vehicle platooning, where a convoy of vehicles follows a professional
driver in a lead vehicle by adjusting its movements to the distance,
speed, and the direction of the car in front, has advanced in great
strides (see our previous
post from 2005). Following much work in simulation, researchers of
the European project Safe Road
Trains for the Environment or SARTRE have now achieved a key
milestone by performing a real-world demonstration of an autonomous car
following a human-driven test vehicle in highway conditions. For more
details, have a look at the SARTRE
webpage and this SARTRE
press release.
