A coupling assembly (100) in a first car (12) configured to move relative to a second car (18), the coupling assembly (100) includes an extender (88) and a connector (99). While the first and second cars (12, 18) are both in motion, the extender (88) is configured to extend away from the first car (12) for connecting with the second car (18). The connector (99) is coupled to the extender (88) and is configured to perform the following while the first and second cars (12, 18) are both in motion: (i) connect with a mating connector (98) of the second car (18) when connecting between the first and second cars (12, 18), and (ii) disconnect from the mating connector (98) when disconnecting the first car (12) from the second car (18).
