MetroMPG -
I tried your suggestion the other day and I think it worked, but I spent a lot of time looking in my rear-view mirror to make sure I maintained the same speed.
While I was doing that my over-kill-engineering brain began to work overtime. I wanted a radar system similar to a backup radar that would maintain a dynamic cruise control by "locking" onto the slowpoke behind me. I wanted it to be programmable based on seconds, aka maintain an x-second gap between me and the car behind me. That way, I could spend more time looking forward. I think this has already been done in fully automated self-driving car experiments. If you wanted to be a follower, you could flip the radar logic to work both ways, for a car either in front or behind you.
