Systems and methods for a virtually coupled modular transportation system. A first module and a second module, in each for transporting a payload, comprise non-physically coupled vehicle sections. In an embodiment, a controller determines a target orientation between modules. In another embodiment, at least one position detection device determines an actual orientation between modules. A motor in at least one module may receive signals from the controller to position the modules in the target orientation. A plurality of wheels on each module may receive an independent amount of torque to position the modules. In another embodiment, at least one module comprises a rechargeable electric motor.
