Sure, yea, I don't mean like it becomes literally impossible to merge in. Just that for any reasonable size platoon, it disrupts more traffic than it saves. Given existing roads and the existence of not-platooned cars on the same roads, it doesn't really work.

Maybe it works for long haul trucking though.

You honestly trust some random driver at the front to make your decisions?

Well, that sounds pretty much like flying commercial flights or traveling by bus. So I guess based on my travel history, answer must be yes.

When I fly, it's a trained pilot. Even for driving is stricter licensing for cdl.

And you think there would be no extra qualifications required for the platoon heads?
