Title:
TRAILER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/179345
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
This trailer (13) is towed with a towing means (12) by an automotive vehicle (11). The trailer (13) travels in one of two driving modes: moving autonomously in an autonomous mode or being towed in trailer mode. For example, the trailer will, on the basis of drive condition data such as acceleration and tilt reported by the automotive vehicle (11), set the driving mode to the autonomous mode if the data indicates acceleration or tilt conditions that exceeds a fixed value, and to trailing mode if not. In the automatic mode, the trailer (13) follows the automotive vehicle (11) and reduces the burden thereon.
