So how does the pilot on the flight deck control the steering on the tug?. And I am still not clear what the benefits are of this system - replacing the tug driver with the pilot steering the tug gains what?. The tug driver is still there the cab and the tug driver does the pushback so what do you achieve by allowing the pilot to drive in a straight line rather than the tug driver.

I get the feeling that this is a great piece of technology that is looking for a purpose.
