Abstract: This article reports on a European transportation project called the Safe Road Trains for the Environment (SARTE) that will wirelessly link cars into autonomous convoys called platoons. The plan would reduce congestion, lower fuel consumption, improve highway safety, and free time for drivers and commuters. Information is provided on platoon technology and the environmental benefits of reducing drag.
