Here's how it works: the truck will automatically alert the driver if there's another Peloton truck nearby to platoon with. If both drivers elect to platoon by pressing a button, one truck will autonomously follow the other one. This way, if the lead truck brakes, the one behind it will automatically brake as well.
This is something that a friend in the industry told me was going to happen awhile back. I always wondered how this would affect driving hours and logs.
The data collection for this could be huge for logistics companies. We could be at a time where deadheading is a thing of the past.

Couple autonomous trucks with E-logs and HOS laws will be a thing of the past.

That will never happen.
