[QUOTE="The Feedster, post: 734000, member: 259515"] Technology that links vehicles into "road trains" that can travel as a semi-autonomous convoy has undergone its first real world tests. The trials held on Volvo's test track in Sweden slaved a single car to a lorry to test the platooning system. Trains of cars under the control of a lead driver should cut fuel use, boost safety and may even cut congestion. Project researchers believe platoons of cars could be travelling on Europe's roads within a decade. Highway code The road train test was carried out as part of a European Commission research project known as Sartre - Safe Road Trains for the Environment. [/QUOTE]
