braking can be handled by the uhaul style brake actuator, where the coupling applies the rear vehicle brakes based on how hard it is trying to push the front vehicle.

You could do that for a fairly long chain, problem is making sure the front driver doesn't like to play "crack the whip" without sufficient warning, and of course determining how to share the fuel bills.
