Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Described herein are techniques for facilitating communications between vehicles within a platoon while minimizing latency. In some embodiments, such techniques may be performed by a lead vehicle and may comprise obtaining, from one or more sensors, sensor information pertaining to an environment in which the lead vehicle is located and generating, from the sensor information, driving instructions to be executed by a platoon of vehicles. The techniques may further comprise identifying, within the platoon of vehicles, a plurality of separate groups of vehicles and transmitting the generated driving instructions to a platooning platform via a long-range communication channel such that the driving instructions are relayed to each of the plurality of separate groups of vehicles. The techniques may further comprise transmitting the generated driving instructions to at least one additional vehicle of the platoon of vehicles via a short-range communication channel.
