Abstract
A system and method for orchestrating movement between an autonomous electric-powered (AEP) trailer and a towing entity includes detecting a presence of a towing entity, generating a movement synchronization pairing proposal between an autonomous electric-powered (AEP) trailer and the towing entity based on detecting the presence of the towing entity; and orchestrating a virtual tow-link between the AEP trailer and the towing entity based on obtaining user input accepting the movement synchronization pairing proposal.
