i was following a motor home that was towing a small car and im confused, it looked like the car must of been in nutral as all wheels were on the road. The car steered when the motorhome went around corners like there was someone in it, but there wasn't

, also the brake lights worked and indicators flashed on the car when the motorhome's flashed

how is this done? it the car being towed be the steering rack or somthing?? and it the motorhome plugged into the cars ECU
