Could Hitchless Towing be a Thing of the Future?

The feature would allow you to tow another car behind you without actually being connected to it.

Toyota is working on something new and futuristic for their vehicles….”hitchless towing”. The feature would allow you to tow another car behind you without actually being connected to it physically. You’d just be connected wirelessly. They say a lot of the necessary features are already available in their sienna minivans. So, they’ve been testing it out. The trail car behind you does everything you do in real time. So, if you change lanes or hit the brakes, it does too. So far, they’ve only done slow-speed tests with a safety driver in the trail car and they’re leaving a big gap between them, just to be safe. But, they’re hoping to shorten that gap soon.
