The invention relates to a method for providing and operating a vehicle convoy (1) comprising a plurality of vehicles arranged directly one behind the other, wherein at least one following vehicle (3, 3-1) autonomously follows a leading vehicle (2) in the direction of travel. The vehicles (2, 3, 3-1) are virtually coupled to one another by means of an electronic drawbar. For this purpose, a respective projection line (17, 18) is defined from the leading vehicle central longitudinal axis (12) and the following vehicle central longitudinal axis (14), said projection lines running on a common straight line. Furthermore, a virtual joint point (19) lying on both projection lines (17, 18) is defined, said joint point being arranged at a distance to the two vehicles (2, 3). The virtual joint point (19) defines a reference point for carrying out steering movements of the following vehicle (3) when the vehicle convoy (1) is traveling autonomously.
