Samsung's 'see-through' trucks aim to reduce risk of passing on highway........ V

[Ponce]

I don't know, but of every good the government always make something bad come out......
========================================

Navigating busy two-lane highways can mean drivers often can't see the road for the cars and take a risk that can prove fatal when they attempt to overtake large vehicles like transport trucks.

The Korean technology giant Samsung wants to reduce that risk with the help of technology that allows drivers to virtually see "through" the vehicles ahead of them. Using monitors mounted on the back of a truck or other large vehicle and connected wirelessly to a camera in front, Samsung's Safety Truck technology shows drivers what's ahead of the 18-wheeled obstruction they're driving behind — day or night.

Samsung believes it could save lives and limit accidents caused by overtaking and sudden braking. It built a prototype that was tested on the roads in Argentina, where two-lane roads are common and traffic accidents are among the leading causes of death, according to healthdata.org.

In Canada, road accidents are the eighth-leading cause of premature death.

Tests are still required to ensure Samsung's technology complies with national safety protocols and receives the necessary permits and approvals to make the Safety Truck road-ready, the company said.

Samsung is not the first company to introduce such "see-through" technology for automobiles. Keio University in Japan developed a technology for the Toyota Prius that makes the car's interiors appear transparent using cameras mounted on the back and sides of the car and projecting the images onto the interiors. This allows Prius drivers to see things outside the car that they normally couldn't see.

I think this is one of those why didn't we think of it before ideas. Sounds good to me. Cameras in front, tv screens on the back. It would be good even for multi lane highways so you can see when changing lanes whats ahead. Hopefully helpful and not distracting. I wonder if they will record everything? I think it would mostly go on new vehicles. If it became a mandated feature it would be standard design within a few years. I wonder how long it would take to be on all trucks on the road.

It is a good ideal, Just saw that some other country's also put up large mirrors on road curves so drivers can see around the bend and eliminate blind spots..

The tech cost needs to come down and the screens need to be dam near bullet proof for several reasons.

Dresses and female worn fluff are nice to emagin what is under the hood!

But dam it, some sights probably could ether cause brain dammage or eyeball burn out.

Spadix comes to mind, some can be tooth watering and the rest makes you want to kill yourself seeing what should never be seen.

Now that would be a worthy study, on how many wrecks are caused by women that are so hot or distracting that male drivers wreck out because of those lovely distractions while driving?

Crap, did not think of that !

You are right !

There will be adds without a doubt..

Ahhhhhhhhhhhshit!

Unless for safety, they keep to the point of the road and driver concentration while driving, and ad's are not allowed...?

[Glass]

will you have to sit behind the truck until the ad is finished, before you can see what is ahead?

Was one of the positions whilst driving? Are they using dunlop rubber or something? I guess its insurance or safety related product.

Eventually the will have location specific ads. Approaching a fast food place and there will be burger ads on the back. Passing a pharmacy sure, drop in and get some condoms. I can see the ad now.... Bored of driving, you need a r@@t. Pull off at the next junction and pick up a pack of rubbers.

If you stopped at the fast food joint you might get an ad for antacids from the pharmacy at the next off ramp.
