Truck platooning is a technology that allows trucks to drive in a convoy one behind the other, communicating with one another and adapting themselves to the convoy. There are various configurations with differing degrees of autonomy but, in most cases, there is still a driver on board, which distinguishes the concept from fully autonomous vehicles. This article examines the advantages, hurdles and limits of military truck platooning in Europe, and provides examples of projects and technologies that are already operational.
