um, as a professional trucker, I get to comment here. Having no trailer brakes is a bad thing. It will take MUCH longer to stop a rig that way, your parking brakes are reduced and the trailer will have a tendency to roll away when not connected, making hookup and dropping much harder. Not to mention a heavy fine if you're caught in a roadside checkstop.

These devices never made it into production anyway.

#1 is managable if your only intention is to drive a few miles to a bridge/dam/interchange/tunnel to blow the heck out of it. And the rest don't even come into play.
