A method for autonomously maneuvering a tow vehicle towards a trailer positioned behind the tow vehicle, the method comprising: receiving, at data processing hardware, one or more images from one or more cameras (142, 142a) positioned on a back portion of the tow vehicle and in communication with the data processing hardware; identifying, by the data processing hardware, a trailer representation within the one or more images, the trailer representation indicative of the trailer positioned behind the tow vehicle; setting, by the data processing hardware, a vertical center line of the trailer representation as a target; and determining, by the data processing hardware, a first steering wheel angle to turn the tow vehicle such that the vehicle autonomously maneuvers in a direction towards the target; and transmitting, from the data processing hardware to a drive system in communication with the data processing hardware, instructions causing the tow vehicle to maneuver based on the first steering wheel angle, characterized by that the method further comprises: determining, by the data processing hardware, a pixel distance between the vertical center line of the trailer representation and a vertical center line of the one or more images; when the pixel distance between the vertical center line of the trailer representation and the vertical center line of the one or more images is greater than a threshold: setting, by the data processing hardware, a predefined lateral offset from the vertical center line of the image as the target; and determining, by the data processing hardware, a second steering wheel angle to turn the tow vehicle such that the vehicle autonomously maneuvers in a direction towards the target. receiving, at data processing hardware, one or more images from one or more cameras (142, 142a) positioned on a back portion of the tow vehicle and in communication with the data processing hardware; identifying, by the data processing hardware, a trailer representation within the one or more images, the trailer representation indicative of the trailer positioned behind the tow vehicle; setting, by the data processing hardware, a vertical center line of the trailer representation as a target; and determining, by the data processing hardware, a first steering wheel angle to turn the tow vehicle such that the vehicle autonomously maneuvers in a direction towards the target; and transmitting, from the data processing hardware to a drive system in communication with the data processing hardware, instructions causing the tow vehicle to maneuver based on the first steering wheel angle, characterized by that the method further comprises: determining, by the data processing hardware, a pixel distance between the vertical center line of the trailer representation and a vertical center line of the one or more images; when the pixel distance between the vertical center line of the trailer representation and the vertical center line of the one or more images is greater than a threshold: setting, by the data processing hardware, a predefined lateral offset from the vertical center line of the image as the target; and determining, by the data processing hardware, a second steering wheel angle to turn the tow vehicle such that the vehicle autonomously maneuvers in a direction towards the target. determining, by the data processing hardware, a pixel distance between the vertical center line of the trailer representation and a vertical center line of the one or more images; when the pixel distance between the vertical center line of the trailer representation and the vertical center line of the one or more images is greater than a threshold: setting, by the data processing hardware, a predefined lateral offset from the vertical center line of the image as the target; and determining, by the data processing hardware, a second steering wheel angle to turn the tow vehicle such that the vehicle autonomously maneuvers in a direction towards the target. setting, by the data processing hardware, a predefined lateral offset from the vertical center line of the image as the target; and determining, by the data processing hardware, a second steering wheel angle to turn the tow vehicle such that the vehicle autonomously maneuvers in a direction towards the target.
