Abstract
A plurality of vehicles traveling to a destination may be determined from platoon formation messages received from the plurality of vehicles. A subset of vehicles from the plurality of vehicles having a latency at or below a teleoperated driving (ToD) threshold may be determined from the platoon formation messages. A lead vehicle for a platoon may be determined from the subset of vehicles, where the lead vehicle includes a lowest latency of the subset of vehicles. A follow vehicle for the platoon may be determined from the subset of vehicles, where the follow vehicle includes a vehicular capability at or above a platoon formation threshold. The platoon between the lead and follow vehicles may be formed and upon forming the platoon, the video streaming of the follow vehicle may be deactivated. A platoon route for the platoon may be generated based on video data obtained by the lead vehicle.
