oh this got posted in DnD's techbro thread a bit ago. yeah standard posts of "lol I dont trust my wireless mouse, keyboard, or wifi router to not eff up a few times a week, dont trust that poo poo." some manager and his team of engineers probably needs to justify their existence with a solution looking for a problem.

This is right up there with vehicle to vehicle communication stands: a pipe dream https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbsxGyBYYJ4 It would be even easier to send data to the mini trailer with some sort of wire, cable, or hitch

Why are we acting like that's not a joke photoshop? e: Hadn't watched that video. Having an automated convoy of full-fledged vehicles actually makes some level of sense, but that's not what's in the picture

hitchless towing is interesting because it would eliminate the need to buy some large vehicle to use a handful of times a year at most for many people, but i have my doubts it would work with current tech.

I'd like to know how it propels itself. If it's electric, what's the presumed range? Can it drive itself to a charger or would I need to hitch mount a genset to my car and run a drop cord? Does it run off a Yaris engine and fuel tank? Also how does it handle steep grades?

Can it drive itself to a charger or would I need to hitch mount a genset to my car and run a drop cord? Does it run off a Yaris engine and fuel tank? On top of every one of those concerns, the weight distribution of trailers tends to assume some will be on the axle and some on the tongue, but that hitch thing even with a motor in it wouldn't have enough weight on it or stability during an emergency braking situation. Sigma posted:It would be even easier to send data to the mini trailer with some sort of wire, cable, or hitch Yeah, cars with drive-by-wire can update their wheel RPM, angle, traction etc. thousands of times per second. It would be nice if there was a standard that would let you pick another vehicle to convoy with, like if your friends and you were taking multiple cars somewhere. Whenever I drive down the highway in an electric car I'm always thinking "it would be dope if there was some standard that would let me reliably tailgate that 18-wheeler for the next 100 miles", because it would use essentially no electricity at all while traveling in their slipstream from a few feet away. Probably not in my lifetime since 18-wheelers seem to have some cloaking technology that makes Teslas keep slamming into them. Zero VGS fucked around with this message at 01:20 on Sep 20, 2022 |

To build the tow vehicle you'd need: “Ok, the guys down in accounting say we need to convince a two-adult household to buy a third car, how do we do it?” “What if we sold them the least useful truck they can’t drive to pull a trailer they will use once a quarter?” “Brilliant. Now I can get back to focusing on how to make sure that each trim level is missing one crucial feature that you can only get on a mutually exclusive trim level.”
