Methods and systems for semi-autonomous vehicular convoys

摘要: The present invention relates to a method and system for enabling vehicles closely follow one another through partial automation. Following behind vehicle can have significant fuel savings benefits, but is unsafe when done manually by the driver. By directly commanding engine torque braking of following while controlling gap between using sensor system, additionally communication link that allows information about actions, such as events, be anticipated vehicle, Semi-Autonomous Vehicular Convoying System enables together in safe, efficient convenient manner may achieved.
