SaRTrE Volvo Auto Train
Volvo is testing their new Safe Road Trains for the Environment, which basically means, cars that drive autonomously. The system is intended to be used on highways where a lead (human driven) truck will be followed by autonomously driven cars. The cars will receive instructions derived from the way the truck is driven and will be able to maintain a very short pursuit distance (less than 5 meters) . As explained in the video below, the idea is to get the car to drive you around while you do other things such as reading the paper, playing video-games, or sleeping.
