Of course, twin turbos and 2-stage nitrous boost helps...
I was actually just surfing information on driverless vehicles when I somehow came across this. The speed is impressive, but I would gladly trade for a driverless tow vehicle doing 60 mph on the interstate! Actually, it looks like class Bs and up motor coaches will be the first beneficiaries of driverless technology in the rv world. fred |

Look at that turbulence off the back of the camper... at 141 mph. Getting probably 1 mpg even though it is diesel, lol.
Would have sucked if the trailer wrecked, since it was brand new!

I didn't notice sway bars on that trailer. I wonder if the wheel bearings needed repacking after?

I was wandering if it had a quick release to detach the trailer in case things got out of control.
