@vantablack even if this becomes real and works perfectly... Ive spent too many hours hooking up trailers to let that skill go to waste. Hitch and chains 4 life.

@vantablack in a more practical criticism: Isn't the whole point of towing for the towed vehicle to not need to move under its own power, relying on the towing vehicle's power instead?

@vantablack Makes me think of Star Trek Discovery series, where the engines of spaceships are no longer connected to the ship they are moving

@Kiloku @vantablack ignoring the foundational point of something is the bedrock of the tech industry at this point

@LexYeen @Kiloku @vantablack my new invention: a hitch for your wifi towing device that is anti-theft

@ava @vantablack oh, the original problem still exists, but you’ve added several more problems—some of them un-fucking-solved?! Look, I suck at backing up with a trailer too, but what is this solving?

@vantablack

1. People need to get off the drugs. This is the stupidest idea I've ever--not going to finish that thought, lest it invite stupider ideas.

2. Looks like this hasn't progressed in the last year or so. Thankfully.

@TheTenuousOrder @LexYeen @Kiloku @vantablack in sure you can find a well tested prototype…at an RV store

@Cass_m @LexYeen @Kiloku @vantablack those are passé, mine is the future because uh, I put in a computer as a step. get the trailer hitch deadlock app for updates
