In the 1970s the very first research into self-driving posited that there would be an autodrive lane or lanes in the middle of the highway and that cars would form convoys that draft each other for fuel efficiency and higher density

Like you say, to get really tight convoys it is not enough to just follow the car in front of you but you need V2V communication.
