The sad news is they saw a positive change with something so primitive. But in my opinion is so wrong on so many levels.
Well, I think this automated inflatable boat tail design is a whole lot better. There is no requirement for the driver to do anything. It automatically deploys at highway speeds. Then it stows before arriving at the dock. Its called the SmartTail by ATS. ATS Aerodynamic Trailer Systems - SmartTail and WindTamer products to reduce aerodynamic drag
