1 8 CONCERTED AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE COLLISION AVOIDANCE ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A method for providing coordinated steering and braking of a plurality vehicles traveling in a platoon in response to detecting an obstruction in front of the platoon. The method includes detecting the obstruction by at least one of the vehicles in a front row of the platoon and coordinating and verifying between the vehicles in the front row that the obstruction is in front of the platoon. The method also includes broadcasting a message from one of the vehicles in the front row to the other vehicles in the platoon behind the front row that a coordinated braking and steering operation will occur to prevent a collision with the obstruction. The method then causes the vehicles in each row to steer to a breach position and causes the vehicles to brake so that all of the vehicles stop at the sides of the lanes.
