The clip that made the rounds looks almost fake: a driver pulls the tow vehicle up roughly in front of the trailer, walks away, taps a phone — and the Flow rolls itself the last few feet, lines up, and clicks onto the ball. No spotter, no ten-point reversing dance.
What’s the trailer actually “seeing”?
Magic Hitch is a vision + AI system. Cameras on the trailer locate the tow vehicle’s hitch point, estimate the distance and angle, and then the dual-motor drivetrain nudges the Flow into precise alignment. Because the trailer has its own motors (part of the Magic Pack), it doesn’t need you to inch the truck backward — it closes the gap itself.
The insight is that a self-propelled trailer can solve the alignment problem from its own end, instead of relying on the driver to aim a two-ton vehicle in a mirror.
Why it matters more than it looks
Hitching is where a lot of driveway fender-benders and jack-knifed trailers happen. Automating it isn’t just a flex — it removes the single most stressful, error-prone moment of a trip, and it makes towing approachable for people who’d never attempt to back a trailer at all.
