An autonomously guidable vehicle train contains a self-driving first lead vehicle, and a first following vehicle, as well as a second following vehicle. The vehicle train contains a first coupling unit in order to couple the first following vehicle to the first lead vehicle, as well as a second coupling unit in order to couple the following vehicles to each other. The first following vehicle has a first drive system as well as a first control unit that is configured to control the first drive system so that the first following vehicle follows the first lead vehicle. The second following vehicle has a second drive system and a second control unit that is configured to automatically control the second drive system so that the second following vehicle follows the first following vehicle.
