Zusammenfassung:	A system for determining the number of remote vehicles following a host vehicle includes a receiver and an electronic controller. The receiver receives information related to a plurality of remote vehicles, including, for each remote vehicle, a vehicle location and a vehicle travel path. The electronic controller determines a location and a travel path of the host vehicle, compares the location of the host vehicle with the vehicle location of each of the remote vehicles, compares the travel path of the host vehicle with the vehicle travel path of each of the remote vehicles, and causes the host vehicle to perform a mitigation operation when the electronic controller determines that a predetermined number of the remote vehicles are disposed behind the host vehicle, and the travel path of the host vehicle and the vehicle travel path of each of the predetermined number of the remote vehicles is the same.
