    The only benefit of the tech required I can imagine would be to allow the computer to reverse the controls of the trailer when reversing the car (like video game flight sticks can) so that the human doesn’t have to process reversing their trailer any differently than they normally in the vehicle.

    It would also eliminate the hitch from the vehicle, so there would be no vehicle stress from towing.

    This could all be done and still have a physical connection to the truck as a failsafe.

      The other thing that springs to mind is you could use a little commuter car with this, so you don’t have to drive a big F350 all the time just because you tow sometimes.

      Why this is better than having a truck and a small car, and only using the truck when you need it, I don’t know.
