VBF Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 This is experimental technology that might be of great use in Thailand, among other countries. 'Transparent' trucks with rear-mounted Samsung safety screens set to save overtaking drivers And yes, I do see that it has limitations if not used correctly and could be abused by some but anything that makes driving safer has to be positive, IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torrens54 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) Don't want to be a "Nay-sayer" but could imagine heaps of drivers in some places, being so mesmerized by the "pretty Picture" on the back of the Truck, they'd drive right up the Truck's Backside.

GavinK Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Better fit to buses also, then will be interesting to see if you can see the escort car leading the 15 bus convoy you're stuck behind in the outside lane... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
