1. An autonomous convoy system for relayed data comprising:
a processor;
one or more sensors selected from the group consisting of radar, lidar, laser, and Doppler;
a wireless communication receiver;
a memory provided that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
receiving guidance information regarding current driving operations being performed by a convoy lead vehicle;
autonomously determining control instructions for a follow vehicle that cause the follow vehicle to substantially maintain a following position relative to the convoy lead vehicle, wherein the autonomously determining comprises determining the control instructions based on the guidance information and one or more operational parameters indicating an operating restriction of at least one driving operation by the lead vehicle and the follow vehicle; and
autonomously controlling driving operations of the follow vehicle based on the control instructions;

wherein the determining control instructions comprises considering the relayed guidance information and one or more operational parameters indicating an operating restriction of at least one driving operation by the lead vehicle and the follow vehicle, and wherein the control data accounts for the operating restriction;
wherein one or more of the sensors are configured to monitor whether an intervening vehicle is located between the convoy lead vehicle and the follow vehicle; and
wherein the operating restriction is based upon detection of an intervening vehicle located between the convoy lead vehicle and the follow vehicle.
