This system is for highway traffic, there's no traffic lights. The maximum number of vehicles in a road train is 5. Obviously it has all kinds of failure recovery systems and in fact some top-end BMWs can already safely pull over to the side of the road if the driver suddenly has a heart attack or is otherwise incapacitated.

  Er... why wouldn't it?

    Because it was only tested on highways/roads in flat areas, and not in the mountains/hills?

      And you think all of the engineers at BMW would never consider that particular possibility? What the fuck.
