That's pretty cool but I kinda thought the trailer was pulling the VW---too precise in some of those maneuvers.

Great fun though!

I'd be more impressed with the demo if they didn't have a driver steering the trailer! Really doesn't demonstrate the technology at all (if they even used it for the video). The video was really fully, but Volvo's video was more impressive. No special trailer rig needed:

What's more amazing to me than that Volvo vid is that it has 82 million views on Youtube and I've never heard of it.
