Nope! How would it know if it has to turn on its brakes/turn signal (required by law)? This will either be put into specific models for more than a tow hitch costs, or presumably an adapter can be made that goes into an existing tow hitch but then the fuck is the point?

I never said it was a good idea and you can ask the designers how it works if you want to know (btw it's probably the same way other automated braking systems work that many modern cars already have).

But not needing a big truck to tow would be a benefit whether you like it or not.
