A coupling device between a first vehicle (A) and a second vehicle (B) includes a hinge coupling section associated with the first vehicle (A) and a drawbar section associated with the second vehicle (B). The drawbar section has an arc-shaped guide arranged horizontally in front of the second vehicle (B) to extend from the right side to the left side thereof, a slider sliding along the arc-shaped guide and a telescopic arm integral with one end of the slider and rotatably connected to the coupling section. A steering assistance mechanism provides for redundancy of the steering members (S) of the second vehicle (B). The coupling device allows the automatic guide system to control the vehicle position and trajectories without any substantial exchange of forces through the device and allows the safe stop of the convoy when there are anomalies in the operation of the automatic guide system.
