Self-Driving Vehicles Swarming to Future Roads

Influenced heavily by swarm robotics and artificial intelligence, Rattray’s omni-wheeled, self-driving Autonomos would travel in tight platoons while shifting their configurations to maintain an uninterrupted traffic flow. Microwave sensors would allow cars to travel a mere 7.8 inches apart, thus aerodynamically reducing vehicle drag and energy consumption, making tailgating actually a good thing.
