1. A communication interface for high speed communication between a towing vehicle and a towed vehicle, comprising:
a connector of the towing vehicle and a connector of the towed vehicle, which connectors are connected via a cable, wherein
the connectors are compliant with a standard selected from ISO12098, ISO7638, ISO1185, ISO3731, ISO11446, and each connector has at least four pins for carrying discrete signals, and
at least two pins of the at least four pins of the standards-compliant connector for carrying discrete signals of the towing vehicle are connected to at least two pins for carrying discrete signals of a standards compliant connector of the towed vehicle by a twisted pair of wires adapted to carry a digital differential signal at a maximum transfer rate greater than a maximum transfer rate permitted by the standard.
