While the straight backing up of the semi-trailer is impressive, the truck that swerved to allow the split is a standard 3 able job. The camera moving to vd's left at the end shows the semi-trailer, implying the other truck is the same (as does the behind the scenes video!) But on closer inspection the foul cheating of the marketing sum is revealed!
Didn't make the split any less eye watering, but the technological marvel of the trucks is greatly diminished.
