Axicle Engineering developed an anti-rollover fifth wheel system designed to prevent semi-truck operators from fully rolling over due to these high winds. The Tractor Anti Rollover System (TARS) would keep the driver and truck on the road while it unlatches and detaches the trailer when met with an “unrecoverable rollover condition.” Axicle claims a 99.99% accuracy with the help of its algorithm and sensors. Currently, TARS is designed for class-8 trucks. Earlier this year, Axicle used a Boeing 777 to test out its TARS system by using the jet engines to knock down the semi-truck and its load. The system worked just as promised, keeping the truck upright while the trailer was tipped over.

thats all we need is flying trailers to dodge on the roads... if this has a malfunction id only assume the trailer will break away from the truck without notice and we will see more of those problems happen which wont kill the driver but will kill whoever is behind that trailer or in the vicinity... seems like they are trying to solve a problem that doesnt necessarily exist.. if we had good drivers on the road there would be no rollovers from wind storms.. flying trailers is not the answer... education and the ability to think for ones self is the solution to this problem.

What d.tibbit said, surely such a technological marvel will be well maintained and 100% errorproof for the full duration of the vehicle's life...

kinda ironic, they used a "TIP" trailer, to be "TIPPED" over.
