Samsung wants to stick its displays on the
back of trucks to improve road safety.
No, this isn't some bizarre
entertainment-based initiative designed to make the lives of trailing drivers
less stressful by screening a selection of TV shows to help pass the time,
though thinking about it, that might not be such a bad idea.
Instead, Samsung's idea focuses on
improving road safety, particularly along two-lane roads where impatient
drivers can make poor choices when overtaking slow trucks in front.
The technology involves fitting a wireless
camera to the front of the truck that provides live-view imagery to a giant
four-screen display -- Samsung made, of course -- fitted on the back.
