According to the web site it uses air springs to create a powered steering for the wheels, it isn't just a castor follow deal..  There is a 15" wheel option so you could get some decent load carry ability.  It has an on-board 12v powered compressor for the air for the steering, I would imagine bus air would work just fine as well.  They show it towing a car as a toad.  I would bet dollars to donuts that the legal implications are well know and the manufacturer has it all figured out.  The big advantage over a trailer is essentially zero tongue weight - the load is centered over the axle - and automatically switches steering so you can back up normally.   Obviously solves someones problems, they have been in business a little while I think, on the other forum one guy had one for several years, bragged on it, and was going to put a Smart car on it.
