A control approach for a set of unconnected cars arranged in a platoon-like fashion using the 'follow-the-leader' principle is presented. The main goal of this work is the simultaneous longitudinal and lateral dynamic control of a platoon of cars. Application of such a control scheme would be useful in many nowadays public traffic transportation programs. This control is a dynamic extension of a previous work on nonlinear control for a convoy-like vehicle (Canudas and NDoudi-Likoho, 1994), applied to four-wheeled vehicles. The asymptotical convergence of the following cars towards the 'leader's' path is established and simulation results are presented.
