Tractor beam? Toyota developing 'hitchless towing' system
Fox News
Toyota is developing a hitchless towing system that would allow a driver to control a convoy of vehicles or a trailer that is wirelessly connected to their vehicle.
Gary Gastelu is Fox News Digital's Automotive Editor.
The idea was suggested by an employee through the company's Hype innovation suggestion system, and Toyota decided to run with it.
The system is being tested with Toyota Sienna minivans, which have been fitted with a wireless communication system that lets the trailing vehicle follow the lead one without any interaction from its driver.
