摘要： A platooning system includes a vehicle control system installed in each of vehicles that include a manually-driven head vehicle. The vehicle control system controls a host vehicle such that the host vehicle follows a lead vehicle through wireless communication between the host vehicle and the lead vehicle. The vehicle control system is installed in the host vehicle and the lead vehicle. The vehicle control system includes a sensor that detects a state of the host vehicle, an actuator that adjusts a behavior of the host vehicle, and a controller that controls the host vehicle. The controller of the head vehicle physically notifies a driver of the host vehicle of a state of a subsequent vehicle by operating the actuator of the host vehicle when a state signal including information that indicates the state of the subsequent vehicle is received through the wireless communication.
