Yeah, platooning…that’s gonna work!With the technology they’re planning it should do as every truck will talk to the ones around it and the reaction will be in milliseconds, thousandths of a second. To put that into context the reaction time alone for a human being is 0.7 seconds and that’s before you start adding in the time to apply the brakes. By the time you register you need to apply the brakes and your foot touches the pedal a computer would’ve been already braking the truck for a second.
Technology my ■■■ you can’t get a mobile to work all the time or a laptop that won’t crash so who is going to guarantee that a platoon will work as advertised?
Hang on eurotrans…let’s not get carried away with ‘mobiles’…I updated my TomTom y’day…all the bleeding ‘recent destinations’ have bloody disappeared!
No problem just sit 20 feet off the back doors of the guy in front"a la platoon" and you’ll get there
