from the Squirrel!-Oh!-Oh.-Ewwwww! dept.

[translation mine] You often find yourself on the road, stuck behind a Semi... it's a two-lane highway and the truck rolls gently between sequences of bends and almost zero visibilty in front of the truck, and trying a quick pass can rapidly turn into a real nightmare.

With its concept, Samsung wants to help us forget this problem and reduce the risks associated with passing trucks. The world's first manufacturer of LCD screens has placed a camera in front of the truck. The camera directly displays the image of the road ahead on the giant screen positioned on the rear doors of the trailer, quite visible to the drivers who are following the truck.

It's a good idea that would also be welcome on the backs of Winnebagos.
