With computerized control and a comms link between the vehicles, you could probably have one vehicle follow 1m behind another, so they are effectively a train. If you still have a driver at all, you only need one in the front vehicle.
I don't think you could do that for CVLR specifically as it's not segregated from traffic and the second car would have to react individually to vehicles, pedestrians, roundabouts, etc.
If it's really just 1m behind, it doesn't need to respond individually to anything except pedestrians. And you can solve that with some extensible tapes that actually do connect the vehicles to prevent pedestrians walking between them.
