Quote from original article

“Those joining a platoon or road train may one day pay for the privilege of someone else effectively driving them closer to their destination”

The magic word is “pay”, what you save on fuel you lose to the lead driver so the only advantage would be to businesses. The driver could catch up on paperwork and play with his/her laptop and phone.

These proposed road trains, would probably in the interests of safety have lower speed limits and may not suit many car drivers who are accustomed to getting from A to B much faster.
