In this paper, we re-examine the notion of string stability as it relates to safety by providing an upper bound on maximum spacing error any vehicle in a homogeneous platoon terms input leading vehicle. We reinforce our previous work lossy CACC platoons accommodating for burst-noise behavior V2V link. Further, through Monte Carlo type simulations, demonstrate that connectivity can enhance traffic mobility and even when deceleration capabilities vehicles are heterogeneous.
