How does an invisible trailer work?

1.05K views

Chevy is running TV ads about an option that makes a trailer invisible. The ad demonstrates with a guy standing behind a utility trailer waving at the driver. I’m sure the technology is proprietary, but what can you tell me? How’s it work (in general terms)? Are we on the verge of a real cloaking device?

It’s a series of cameras, the trailer has a camera on the back end, the dashboard camera shows the view from that camera and merges it with the normal backup camera, basically both images are crammed together so that you can “see through” the trailer. Sadly a cloaking device is still a leap away.
