Small convoys of partially driverless lorries will be tried out on major
British roads by the end of next year, the government has announced.
A contract has been awarded to the Transport Research Laboratory (TRL)
to carry out the tests of vehicle "platoons".
Up to three lorries will travel in formation, with acceleration and
braking controlled by the lead vehicle.
But the head of the AA said platoons raised safety concerns.
