[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.

TOO BAD YOU CAN'T BUY a voodoo globe so that you could make the earth spin
real fast and freak everybody out.

Anyone who likes that quote has obviously never driven a straight 6!
I usually drive a little 4-banger myself though. For years I drove 6-cylindars, dreamed about 8 and promised myself I would never ever buy a 4. But hey.. 80 cents/gal gas was expensive once! If your drive is so short that the price of gas doesn't apply to you then congratulations! That also means you have less time stuck on the road behind those of us for whom it does matter so deal with it!
