The wifi part is completely unnecesary, but powered wheeled trailers that assist “pull” is a clear benefit. Especially for camper trailers who need electricity to power life inside them. Solar+batteries also helps them power your primary home when they are parked. But a hitch, and wired “data” connection, is basic safety backup, and does not need a separate WIFI tow motor/vehicle.
If the trailer had some steering/drive, ok. This illustrated concept of a “detached hitch” has some physics problems, since the trailer is just going to yank that thing all over the place.
Ideally in towing, the trailer is yanked where you want it to go, but if the towing vehicle doesn’t have the mass, then the trailer yanks the vehicle where the trailer wants to go.
