1. A computing device in an ego vehicle, the computing device comprising:
memory circuitry to store platoon data for controlling the ego vehicle for platooning; and
processor circuitry connected to the memory circuitry, the processor circuitry to:
generate a join request to join a vehicle platoon when a set of predefined conditions for joining or forming a platoon have been met, wherein the join request is for joining the vehicle platoon with another vehicle;
cause transmission of the join request in a first vehicle-to-everything (V2X) message to the other vehicle;
receive a join response in a second V2X message from the other vehicle;
receive a platoon control message in a third V2X message from the other vehicle after receipt of the join response, wherein the platoon control message includes the platoon data for controlling the ego vehicle for platooning; and
control operation of the ego vehicle to travel in the vehicle platoon after receipt of the join response and based on the platoon data.
