Green Car Congress: SARTRE project completes first successful on-road demo of multiple vehicle platooning

The SARTRE project (Safe Road Trains for the Environment) (earlier post) has recently completed the first successful test demonstration of a multiple vehicle platoon, with Volvo Car Corporation as the only participating car manufacturer. The test fleet included a lead truck followed by three cars driven entirely autonomously at speeds of up to 90 km/h (56 mph), with no more than a 6-meter (20-foot) gap between the vehicles.
