  "textContent": "An autonomous vehicle selectively couplable to a trailer includes a cabin, at least one sensor coupled with the cabin and configured to capture signals of an environment in which the autonomous vehicle is operating, a secondary braking system operably coupled to the at least one sensor and supplemental to a primary braking system of the autonomous vehicle, and an autonomy computing system. The secondary braking system includes one or more movable flaps disposed on the cabin positionable between a first, undeployed position and a second, deployed position, where the one or more movable flaps engage air surrounding the autonomous vehicle to increase drag of the autonomous vehicle and decelerate the autonomous vehicle. The autonomy computing system is housed in the cabin and is programmed to operate the one or more movable flaps based on signals received from the at least one sensor.",
