A method of implementing an autonomous electric-powered trailer during a towing operation includes sourcing, via the one or more computers, one or more streams of sensing data from one or more sensing sources during a towing event involving an autonomous electric-powered (AEP) trailer and a towing entity, generating, via a towing-assist control algorithm, a plurality of towing-assistance instructions based on an input of the one or more streams of sensing data; operating, via one or more electric motors, each wheel of the AEP trailer at a target propulsion based on the plurality of towing-assistance instructions, wherein the operating of the each wheel enables the AEP trailer to autonomously assist the towing entity during the towing event.
