Eh, even If it does, it shouldn’t be a problem. Relying on a wireless link that could fail due to interference or jamming for actual control would be Musk-level insane.
The hitchbot would need to be capable of visually following the lead vehicle, possibly using something like a big QR code for identification and tracking.
The wireless link could be for telemetry like range and non-critical controls like “stay here” and “start following”.
If the link fails, you get a big warning to stop ASAP but the bot keeps following.
People use “WiFi” as a generic term for wireless protocols all the time, this almost certainly doesn’t use actual WiFi.
Yeah, the tensile strength of Wi-Fi is way too low to tow anything larger than a jet ski. You’ll need at least some vhf 5G CBRS to tow a camper.
I’m so confused
What’s to be confused about? This is basic metaphysical modulation spectroscopy theory.

So… Ethernet?
Maybe, maybe not
Fascinating.
Yeah it would probably use IR
