A method for autonomously tethering an autonomous electric powered trailer to a tethering partner includes identifying a target tethering partner for the autonomous electric powered (AEP) trailer, detecting a likely n-dimensional position of a tethering nexus of the target tethering partner based on an assessment of sensor data; computing, a set of automated tethering instructions based on the likely n-dimensional position of the tethering nexus; and autonomously tethering, via the one or more computers, a coupler of the AEP trailer to the tethering nexus based on executing the set of automated tethering instructions.
