The present invention relates to an autonomous follower vehicle configured for following a guide element. The autonomous follower vehicle wirelessly determines the location of the guide element, maps the location of the guide element over time as a path, and controls a drive system on the autonomous vehicle to follow the same path traversed by the guide element, preferably using inertial navigation.
