Abstract
A tracking system adapted for use with communicatively coupled traveling host and remote vehicles, includes a locator device configured to determine sets of current position, and trail coordinates for each of the vehicles. The preferred system further includes sensors operable to determine a condition value for each vehicle at each of said set of coordinates, and a controller configured to determine a congruent path between the vehicles, and a congruent path divergence by the host vehicle, and cause the transmission of an alert of the divergence from the host vehicle to the remote vehicle using vehicle-to-vehicle communication.
