These Driverless lorry convoys right, How is that going to work at traffic lights etc?

And roundabouts for that matter.
If the guy driving the front lorry has to wait for a gap big enough for all 3 to get out at once he'll be there all day.

Traffic lights, what if the lights change as he passes them? The third will go over on red?
Does the last lorry wait and then catch up? Is there going to actually be a man in each?
