Abstract
Responsive to determining that a quality of a V2V connection between a host vehicle and a target does not satisfy a threshold, a following position of the host vehicle relative to the target and whether the following position is within a predicted null position of the V2V connection and closer to the target than a selected position are determined. The following position is then controlled based on whether the following position is within the predicted null position and whether the following position is closer to the target than the selected position. By controlling the following position based on the quality of the V2V connection and the null position, more-reliable V2V connections may be maintained, thus enabling better performance of downstream operations.
