The European trailer assist system market has grown because of strict safety rules, small roads, and strong traditions of towing for fun. North America has a truck-driven culture, but Europe's narrow roads and crowded cities have made OEMs design systems that focus on accuracy, maneuverability, and low-speed accuracy. Volkswagen was the first carmaker to add trailer assist to larger safety packages. Other carmakers followed suit. The General Safety Regulation and other EU safety rules sped up the process by making reversing aids and automated maneuvering almost standard features.

Standardization driven by regulation, automation that works in cities, and lifestyles that fit with caravanning are some of the most important trends shaping the market. Rules make sure that trailer assist systems meet strict safety standards, and cities need smart, very precise maneuvering technologies for tight spaces. Trailer assist is also marketed by car companies as a way to make leisure activities easier, like backing up campers at campsites or launching boats. In Europe, strategies include positioning trailer assist as a safety tool that is required by law, customizing systems for small spaces, and including them in high-end ADAS packages.
