Almost every road traveler has been in that situation--stuck behind a lumbering truck on a 2-lane highway with no clue about whether it’s safe to overtake. Instead of inching into oncoming traffic to get a better glimpse of the road ahead, here’s a novel project that Samsung implemented recently. The South Korean giant’s Argentinian presence--in an effort to highlight the country’s stark driving-related mishap statistics--launched an interesting campaign: They affixed televisions to the back of a big-rig truck that displayed the images of a forward mounted wireless camera showing the road ahead of the truck. Doing so enabled vehicles behind the truck to get a clear, unambiguous view of the overtaking situation, effectively reducing any hesitation for cars that wouldn’t otherwise be able to see oncoming traffic on a narrow road. The system even has a night vision mode for low-light driving. http://www.dnaindia.com/scitech/rep...vs-to-trucks-help-promote-road-safety-2098115
