[Mule Ferguson]

2015 F150 camera. 3 different view. it doesn't show the lines when hooked.

How cool would it be if you could steer the truck/trailer with just the touch screen with a view from the trailer.

Touch screen input is much to slow and lossy to want to use it to drive something x-x

I think we are talking about 2 different things.
Backing up with a trailer attached is easy enough once you figure out turn right to go left.
Backing up to a trailer (to align the ball hitch) is different and often you need a spotter to tell you when to stop.
I’m hoping Tesla has multiple camera angles focused on the ball hitch to make this easier. Even better would be an auto function that could use the adjustable height suspension to get the ball under the hitch and then raise it up. Best would be a smart trailer that could fully align, connect, lock, and connect light/brake/camera?/charge? functions without ever getting out of the truck. That would save lots of time if you need to back into a supercharger.

The closeup photos of the license plate at the Petersen museum showed 2 cameras on either side of the license plate.

That is what I am looking for. Not having to get out to lower trailer onto ball connect safely chains and plug in trailer. Would be great to have enclosed cyber trailer with auto connect.
