Ben:

If I may momentarily go active with my shipping sonar, since this is, after all, The Shipping Thread, I'll say that I rather like that idea.

In which case, we get a reason that Blake, Yang and their dates (given the one is well-speculated and the other has just or is about to explode) are on a highway at night, being on their way to Beacon. It's actually somewhat unclear whether Ruby and Weiss are actually present; the end of the trailer might just be a stylistic thing. Or they could have just called in reinforcements (via rocket locker, maybe? I want to see that happen deliberately someday.) in the face of the Giant White Fang Mech, with Weiss initially not going to the ball/whatever on account of her father (or business associate) meeting Ozpin, and Ruby also not going because she's the young one.

N.B. This idea sprang to me fully formed, while having forgotten Weiss leaping through frame and the dramatic pose in front of the highway background.
