TOWING SYSTEM WHEREIN AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE IS ASSISTED BY AN ELECTRIC VEHCILE BEING TOWED

An EV couples to an ICEV via mechanical or electromagnetic tow system for towing and includes an ICEV module and an EV module that are configured to communicate with one another. This connection uses software that is configured to assist the vehicles to both work in unison and to optimize performance of the traction control, brakes, throttle, battery systems, and other components. In some examples, the EV is capable of utilizing full self-driving (FSD) to connect and disconnect from the ICEV, as well as assist in lane changing, backing up, braking, and acceleration in response to road and traffic conditions.
