What do you think happens if the car in front of you is coasting, and you're trying to match its speed?

It's possible to get in an 'envelope' behind another car and get pulled along with it.

I wasn't talking about drafting. I was just saying that you can "coast" in a one-pedal car by pressing on the pedal by an appropriate amount... and most drivers will do that every time they drive, because they'll be behind other cars that are coasting.

I'm saying that harvesting energy while coasting is probably not efficient.
