That would essentially be a virtual road train. It's a great solution because you can reduce the distance between the trucks, which improves the fuel efficiency - especially for European-style trucks.
The problem is that they are an absolute nightmare when it comes to highway merging. You really don't want third-parties in-between elements of the convoy, so it essentially becomes a single really long vehicle for merging purposes. On most highways that's simply not a realistic option.
