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

Why has nobody thought of this before?

Top Gear thought of it several years ago:

Can't find the original segment online :(

This will be mobile advertising's way of the future as well.

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.

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...

Yep this is a technology I can get on board with. Nothing but advantages.

Not quite the same thing, they might have been legitimately onto something if they weren't such boobs.

boobs, LOL.

Yep - even if they had the most innovative idea in the world, it would still have to be scripted and presented as a cock-up :)

Could be bad luck if the gremlins get in and cause a time delay .... novel idea though

I can imagine bad drivers at night thinking that its a plain road ahead instead of the a screen on a truck? or someone speeding may not react fast enough to notice its a screen.
