Ford has rolled out a new feature for F-Series vehicles, including the all-electric F-150 Lightning pickup, called Pro Trailer Hitch Assist which uses artificial intelligence, computer vision, and machine learning to automatically back up and align a truck’s hitch ball to a trailer coupler with just a push of a button.
This means pickup truck owners who are not exactly experts in hitching up a trailer can now do the sometimes nerve-racking procedure on their own, without the need for an outside helper.
