So I found a company name in the article and did a little digging.

In a large cab there is a lot of room for the screen, especially on the passenger side. But it has to be creating a pretty big blind spot on the driver's side in particular. It's like a 6-inch wide A pillar. An interesting idea with a challenging dilemna methinks. |
Yes, the screens will go on the A pillar. It does increase the A pillar blind spot but it is smaller than the combined blind spot from the A pillar + the glass mirror.
