Samsung Safety Truck has screens on the back

Nice idea, but it's yet another potential distraction for drivers.

lol someone hacks the displays and streams game of thrones to it

If those indeed are screens on the back, people are so gonna steal them. I know here they wouldn't last an hour.

Your shipping company is in the habit of parking beside the road I take it?

Some yes, from time to time. I mean people have to park somewhere to sleep for long travels. And there are many people here that are just waiting to steal.  :lol:

The latest in traffic entertainment brought by Samsung. Genius.

This might be a recipe for rear ending. If you get fixated on the screen you think the car infront is further away than the truck actually is.

I usually hug the shoulder so cars have a little room to peek, but this is a cool idea. I'd just be worried about theft, and damage caused by some yard workers carelessness.

I want to see the reaction of Fox News when someone hacks this and streams porn on it.

i work for a traffic management company which promotes safety on the road..i showed this to my boss, and he's like meh..

 

i was thinking of doing the same for our static trucks, but the concerns are:

"does it promote AWARENESS, or will it cause furthermore confusion/distraction for roadusers"

 

you'd be surprised that some will be more than confused

This is so cool

Yeah, you thinking something along the lines of; someone half asleep in the middle of the night, sees a car "coming at them" in the screen, and panic?
