Abstract:
A system and method for mitigating or avoiding risks due to hazards encountered by platooning vehicles. The system and method involve interrogating, with one or more sensors, a space radially extending from a lead vehicle as the lead vehicle travels over the road surface, perceiving the environment within the space, ascertaining a hazard caused by an object in the space, and causing a following vehicle, operating in a platoon with the lead vehicle, to take a preemptive braking action to avoid or mitigate risks resulting from the hazard caused by the object in the space.

Claim (Index 28):
The system of  claim 12 , further comprising a first platoon controller for the lead vehicle and a second platoon controller for the following vehicle, the first and second platoon controllers communicating so that:\n (a) a desired gap is maintained between the two vehicles during platooning; and (b) as a result of the preemptive action, the platoon is dissolved.
