“…Notable examples include the string instability [15] or network incoherence phenomena [1]. Also bidirectional control, which our problem formulation corresponds to in the context of vehicle platooning, is often subject to the inevitable string instability [2], [7] except for some specific situations where the string instability can be avoided [5]. However it appears that average or local performance measures, for example those in [1], [11], [13], [18], can be guaranteed in a scale free manner.…”
