News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors:“Certain efforts in the field of robotics in the past sever al decades have focused on providing autonomouscontrol over one vehicle when it is following another. Ideally, an autonomous follower vehicle should act inthe same way as if it were driven by a human, observing all traffic laws and always behaving in a predictablemanner. The general goals of automated driving includ e increased safety, reduced congestion, and reducedemissions.“As applied to commercial vehicles, such as long-haul trucking, the goals also i nvolve energy savingand personnel cost reduction. Methods have thus been develo ped for operating groups of trucks along thesame trajectory with only a short g ap in between. Such so-called platoons or convoys may use cooperativecontrol. T hey may make driving decisions by combining information from forward-looking rem ote sensorsthat measure, for example the distance and speed difference to the i mmediately preceding truck, withadditional information communicated from that t ruck and other trucks ahead of it. See, for example,Tsugawa, et al. “A Review o f Truck Platooning Projects for Energy Savings”, IEEE Transactions onIntelligen t Vehicles, Vol. 1 No. 1, March 2016, pp 68-77 for a review of several such prio r efforts.
