SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PLATOONING

Systems and methods for platooning using aspects of various cruise control systems are described. In one aspect, a platooning system may cause an engine to provide a desired amount of torque by commanding a cruise control system to cause an amount of torque provided by the engine to be limited. In one aspect, a platooning system may cause a platoon to end in response to the detection of a condition that would cause a cruise control system to exit a cruise control state, such as pressing a brake pedal.
