Good plan. When bike racers are drafting closely, and wheels touch, the back rider goes down. There's no bumper, and they fall over if steered by a tow vehicle, or other contact.

With cars and trucks, as drafting distance decreases, the chance of collision keeps going up. However, when very close, the severity of the collision begins decreasing to zero, if the bumpers match.
