The idea of driverless cars is beginning to catch on. An intermediate step, road trains, is being planned in various parts of Europe. Under this concept, one vehicle (identified in the news stories as being driven by a “professional driver”) leads the way, and others get in line. The drivers of the following vehicles can read, watch a movie, or go to sleep until they decide to leave the train.
Meanwhile, Volkswagen’s Audi division plans to test its completely driverless technology with a high-speed drive up Pikes Peak. Volkswagen also speculates on what cars will be like in 2028.
