Samsung:
Have you ever found yourself driving behind a semi-trailer truck? If you’re on a single-lane highway or road, it can be a nightmare. Even though the truck is driving relatively slowly, you cannot overtake it due to its size, and because you cannot see what is happening in front of the truck.
However, Samsung has developed a solution that may make this problem a thing of the past.
This is a very clever idea but likely far too expensive for most trucking companies. There’s also likely a lot of regulations that would have to be changed as well as assurances companies won’t simply use the technology to show even more advertisements to motorists stuck behind semis.
This is another useless idea from Samsung. Talk about distracted driving. No one should care what’s ahead of the semi, they should be watching what the semi is doing.
Not a Samsung idea.

Aha. There it is. Thanks! I knew I had seen something like this from a Russian place. I wonder if Samsung bought it or copied it?
Only in a perfect world, would this be great. I wouldn’t trust half the drivers out there to make an intelligent decision based on what they saw on the screen.
A better solution might be a camera in the truck that transmits the video feed to the following traffic.
Yeah, useless. Especially if a truck’s blocking my view and I can’t see an exit sign until it’s too late. /s
Perhaps pretend you didn’t see the name “Samsung” in the article and try again.
They Samesung’d it!
I got a ticket from a red light camera because of a truck blocking my view that the light had turned yellow. So, I upvote this a billion times.
