I see so many issues with that.

I kind of like the idea in the last paragraph better... But once your vehicle data is shared publicly anyone could see it, and that doesn't feel great either.

Interesting innovation.. might cause accidents with idiots.

might cause accidents with idiots.

Idiots will be idiots regardless of what help is out there!

Neat idea, I wonder how long the screens stay clean for?!

No doubt that as an allternative some companys will see this as large digital signage screens to advertise there products,whilst on the move. How else will they get the cost back, if its only based on the live video?
New technology could mean that the screens wiill be 3mm thick ,applied like plastic sheet with a separate control box.

i see nothing wrong with the idea, it can't do any harm

Agreed, seems reasonable to me, at least until the point where they start recording your plate, linking it to your browser history and advertising crap you don't want or need or give 2 shits about.

 

[John002]

I'm thinking its an advertising gimmick for Samsung. It would be dirty or broken within a week and if so could you sue if you crashed because of that?

Imagine that in North America. The insurance companies would have a field day arguing over who's fault it is when you pull out to over take, only to find the feed was delayed by a few tenths of a second.

"can't over take... tired of waiting? pull off for the next mcdonalds.... "
