    That's pretty cool! I'd love to see that thing deploying on the side of the road. Amazng that they can fold that whole thing up behind the driver. I wonder how it affects handling.

            I remember some time ago actually seeing a video of one of these actually towing a car. Seems like they would need to stick to small sub-compacts.
