| For a Relaxing Commute, Hitch Your Car to a Wireless "Road Train" |
| Volvo has tested a "road train" concept in which drivers queue behind a designated lead vehicle, such as a truck, driven by a professional driver, and a wireless system from the truck takes over the operation of the cars. Drivers can regain control of their cars and get out of line when they reach their destinations. In a tryout in Spain, three vehicles followed a truck for 124 miles at 53 miles per hour, according to the Wall Street Journal. |
