This article considers a homogeneous platoon with vehicles that communicate through channels prone to data loss.The vehicles use a predecessor-following topology, where each vehicle sends relevant data to the next, and data loss is modeled through a Bernoulli process.To address the lossy communication, we propose a strategy to estimate the missing
