Could Samsung's "see-through" safety semi-truck prevent accidents?

Awesome!
I spend pretty much all of my highway commute behind semis, so it would be really convenient and safer to see what's ahead of them, especially since I-4 occasionally comes to a dead stop out of the blue. Of course, it would probably tempt me to ride closer behind them than I currently do, but if I could see ahead of the truck there wouldn't be any surprise stops or junk laying in the road I couldn't avoid. |
I'd keep just the same distance anyway, 2 seconds is about the time it takes for all the debris kicked up by the tires to land back on the tarmac.
Most semis have a loading platform as a back door here. Stores will plaid their loading bays with velvet soon, to avoid damaging those flatscreens ;) It won't be long before someone figures out the other potential possibilities of having a flatscreen aft. I'll guess we will have to be extra careful during the commercials. We could sponsor a film showing lots of oncoming traffic so the cars stay behind the truck and save fuel ;) |
"I will just stay behind this semi so that I can see over the SUVs."

That's awesome.

hopefully they keep the brightness down at night
:cool: |
Might be cheaper and more practical in the long run to retrofit a camera & projector system that would shine the image onto the back of the truck, rather than those awesome flat screen displays
I can see commercials coming though, it's just a matter of time! |
Until someone hacks it to show goatse...

But since this is %99 them advertising their products, and it is to solicit monies from other companies (with various complications on implementation), I don't see it happening overnight everywhere. |
Those trailers take an awful beating out there. I wonder how long the screens would last...
