    Abstract: A method of operating a platoon of vehicles may include determining a joint optimization of operating parameters of a forward vehicle of the platoon and a rearward vehicle of the platoon. The operating parameters of the forward vehicle may include vehicle motion plan parameters for the forward vehicle. The operating parameters of the rearward vehicle may include suggested control actions for the second vehicle. The method may include wirelessly transmitting from the forward vehicle the vehicle motion plan parameters for the forward vehicle and the suggested control actions for the rearward vehicle, wirelessly receiving at the forward vehicle following vehicle capability parameters indicating capability of the following vehicle, determining in response to the following vehicle capability parameters an updated joint optimization including updated vehicle motion plan parameters for the forward vehicle, and controlling motion of the forward vehicle in response to the updated vehicle motion plan parameters.
