  • Abstract
    When four people going in a car for a 1000 mile long drive share the driving time. Can they do the same while driving four cars? Gull Drive addresses the problem with the features like vehicle map, in-built GPD & push to talk, vehicle sync. These features help drivers know the vehicles with similar destinations and path. Then forming a group and sync the vehicles in the group with a lead vehicle. Only the driver in the lead vehicle controls the steering and other vehicles follow the lead vehicle while the drivers relax. Leadership switches from vehicle to vehicle at regular intervals of time. Vehicle map will be shared to traffic control systems to ease patrolling.
