What happens here

Install all necessary trailer hardware, including functional components like tail lights, brake lights, turn signals, and side marker lights, ensuring they are wired correctly and fully operational. Also, install a license plate bracket. Given the highly reflective nature of the 'Cyber Trailer,' as mentioned by the speaker, enhanced visibility is paramount for road safety. Augment standard lighting with additional conspicuity tape, reflective decals, or supplementary LED lighting along the sides and rear. These additions will help ensure the trailer is easily seen by other drivers, especially in varying light conditions, which the speaker highlights as a potential problem ('difficult for cars to spot in the hustle and bustle of heavy traffic'). Consider the advice regarding birds ('birds would be smacking into this thing left and right') and potentially apply subtle bird deterrent decals or patterns to the most reflective sections if bird strikes are a concern in your area. Test all lights and connections before road use.

Goal: Complete the trailer with functional components and address safety concerns.

What they say

Hide

full of rocking chairs towing this thing down the road. I know that if I parked it out in the woods, birds would be smacking into this thing left and right, which tells me it might be difficult for cars to spot in the hustle and bustle of heavy traffic. But you guys tell me, what do you guys think?
