No kidding. My 2010 F-150 has the towing package which includes a factory installed manual trailer brake controller. It's far from ideal for the driver to need to squeeze that brake controller while driving and there is plenty of room for error if you don't know exactly what you are doing.Seems like something that could be automated.

Automation can handle it, probably without even needing a remote sensor suite on the trailer. Tesla will probably employ the rear camera on the Cybertruck to monitor the trailer (along with the solid state gyros that all Tesla already have). Tesla knows they can develop those systems as they ramp production because demand is never a problem that early in a products lifecycle. As the ramp progresses to ever increasing volumes, Tesla knows they need to continually add more value to keep selling the higher volumes. That's because this is primarily a software based solution that can be retroactively applied to vehicles already in the wild.
