You won't have to do anything for a couple of reasons ,
1 because by the time driverless cars get to that stage you will most
likely be dead,
2 If by some chance you reach an extremely old age then with a
driverless car you journey decision will have been made at the
commencement of your journey , the driverless car in conjunction
with all the other driverless vehicles and some input from the road
management system will work out how to do it , so you won't be making
the decision when to join or to tootle anyway and if you get hit up
the arse that will mean the whole system has failed rather
drastically.

The thing is that trundling along a motorway - where a 'train' of cars
might be possible - isn't the problem anyway. It's congestion at the start
and end of that motorway, and where roads join it. Which would be made
worse by cars coupling up - even electronically.
