Systems and methods are provided that may automatically vary a speed of autonomous vehicles and/or a following distance between autonomous vehicles. The systems and methods may, thereby, maintain an optimal vehicle roadway traffic flow, for example, between a “free flow” and a “wide moving jam.” Furthermore, the systems and methods may generate data representative of autonomous vehicle related emergencies based on data representative of an autonomous vehicle operating environment.
