the Yeoju Smart Highway has opened testing of its truck platooning technology on a motorway proving ground. Level 5 autonomous driving is where there is no involvement from a human driver in any situation in a vehicle. Working on 60 km of Hyundai in Korea at 60 km /h, the trial used two trailer-connected Xcient trucks with automated driving support systems to assess the technology's response to cut-in and cut-out by other vehicles, simultaneous emergency braking and vehicle-to-vehicle communication. The real world simulation saw the company evaluating the platooning, which allows a following truck to maintain distance behind the lead vehicle and autonomously respond to speed changes by the leading truck's driver.
