Daimler has added a new convoy function to its Highway Pilot autonomous driving system.Truckers can use Highway Pilot Connect to link up through WLAN to form a platoon or convoy. The system guides the self-driving tractor trailer rigs into a line with at least 15 meters between them. Driving in each others' slipstreams not only saves fuel; it also reduces the total road area taken up by the trucks. The autonomous driving technology also takes some of the strain off the trucker.
