I don`t draft behind any trucks, but what is it that bothers a trucker if a car drives behind him?
The car˙s headlights can`t bother him because he can`t see them, also he cannot be concerned about safety distance because the car can brake much faster than a truck can.

I`m thinking of this because adaptive cruise controls (automated braking) are now becoming common and it`s quite safe to use them to draft behind trucks and save on fuel.
