Devices, systems, and methods for transmitting vehicle data

This invention describes a system for heavy trucks to drive in a close convoy, or platoon. The lead truck wirelessly sends specific data from its engine's computer, like how much torque it's using, to the following truck. The following truck's computer then uses this information, adjusting for desired distance and time, to control its own engine and maintain the convoy.

Why it matters: Filed before C-V2X communication standards matured. The claimed inter-vehicle data exchange and ECU integration are now more feasible.
