CA 2305606

An apparatus includes a first self-propelled independently steerable vehicle having a control system operable by an operator on board the first vehicle which is arranged to carry out a first function at a first location. A second self-propelled independently steerable vehicle is arranged to carry out a second function at a second location spaced from the first location. The second vehicle is controlled automatically from the first to maintain an operator set working position along side the first vehicle. The set position can be changed to other working positions or to a safe position behind the first vehicle. The positions are determined by GPS or by ultrasonic distance measurement together with speed and inertia sensing devices to maintain the positions. The positions are adjustable. Examples disclosed include a marker for an agricultural implement, a loading truck for receiving discharge from a crop harvesting machine, and various echelon arrangements where the vehicles carry out the same function side by side such as road painting.
