SARTRE Vehicle Platooning

Posted on Jan 24, 2011 by Dr. Lando to Video

A video demonstration of SARTRE, or Safe Road Trains for the Environment. The idea is to use radio signals from a lead vehicle to determine the path of a number of following vehicles. The following vehicles would steer, brake, and drive themselves, allowing for the driver(passenger) to focus on other things.

That just seems terrifying. I'd be tempted to hit the brakes or steer if it did something I didn't like. One solution would be to get thin the back seat, but then I'd be even more terrified.
