• and
• a controller:
• identifying at least one of the trailer or a coupling feature of the trailer within the image data;
• outputting a target graphic associated with the target position area on the display screen, the target graphic being associated with a target position area relative to the vehicle;
• determining that the at least one of the trailer or the coupling feature is outside of the target position area relative to the vehicle and outputting an instruction for movement of the vehicle determined to position the one of the trailer or the coupling feature within the target position area in response to identifying at least one indication of a user difficulty in positioning the one of the trailer or the coupling feature within the target position area;
• and
• determining that the at least one of the coupling feature and the trailer is within the target position area and outputting a steering signal to the vehicle to cause the vehicle to steer to align a hitch of the vehicle with the coupling feature.
