Hokay, that es-plains everythin. 
I have a gadget that does the same, - it's called a Rix uncoupling tool. While it does require manual input from the train's operator, it will perform the same function, and will work between individual cars, too, not just on decoder-equipped locos.
I will give a nod to the technology demonstrated in your video link, but it's (so far) a limited capability. It does, however, offer such a possibility beyond "arm's length".
