It is very likely that the future of transportation will consist of automated vehicle systems. Many cars now have the capability to connect with one another through the use of a wireless channel thanks to the development of vehicle ad-hoc networks (VANETS). The real time application of a vehicle platoon, in which 8-25 cars follow one another and mimic the actions performed by the vehicle in front of it, is relatively new. However, the concept of a vehicle platoon was first introduced in 1986 as part of a project called PATH (Partners for Advanced Transit and Highways) that demonstrated the advantages of a vehicle platoon. Both a Cyber-Physical System (CPS) and an Internet of Things (IoT) system can be construed to refer to the same thing: an autonomous vehicle. [Cyber-Physical System] Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are sophisticated, heterogeneous, distributed systems that generally consist of a large number of sensors and actuators that are connected to a pool of processing nodes.
