Samsung "The Safety Truck"

Samsung and Leo Burnett/Buenos Aires came up with a clever solution to a dangerous driving situation, mounting a set of large displays on the rear of a truck, connected to a wireless camera on front so vehicles can see if it’s safe to pass.

So I am driving behind this truck and looking at this screen I can see if it is safe to pass, what if I am not interested in passing him? Can I some how change the channel and watch an episode of The Big Bang Theory? Now that would be cool! LOL

Off topic but I truly hate following those 5th wheels with the large flat back window usually tinted but when that sun hits them it's blinding.

Most of the time these shiny TVs will be covered in mud, dust, and snow.

Cool idea but far from practical.

Guess Samsung forgot about the movie "Duel" with Dennis Weaver. First thing I thought of watching that ad. Nope, I'll trust my own eyes thanks.

Since large amount of the drivers on the roads are wrapped up in there own little world / always on the cellphone. This would make their life safer since they are not looking that far ahead for oncoming traffic, only needed on 2 lane highways.

Oh yes, 4dr red Plymouth Valiant vs Peterbilt tanker truck.

Reminder to self - don't drive in Argentina.....

Good lord - apparently they don't know how to check before pulling out to pass!

So now you can see if there is a cop hiding in front of the truck waiting for you to go speeding past.

Better yet, aim the camera at the sour puss of the driver trying to pass and show them how ridiculas they look.
