I mean, if the problem is lack of power, so the tow vehicle has it's own motor, couldn't you just have the same tow vehicle setup connected to the back of the car, using it's motor to cancel out the extra load on the main vehicle without a potentially risky wireless connection?

You and your logic....

I could see it working similar to surge brakes on trailers, a sprung mechanism with sensors that would accelerate when stretched and regen braking when compressed.

I like the idea.

or, hear me out now, we put a passenger compartment and driver controls on the vehicle capable of towing and leave the car at home. why reinvent the wheel when rental trucks exist here and now?

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
