Unveiled in June 2015 Samsung introduced the screen-integrated
truck boosting road safety for overtaking vehicles.
Unveiled in June 2015, Samsung‘s Safety Truck is designed to improve
road safety via a wireless camera system. The reverse of the truck has a
video wall with four large monitors that transmit video captured by a
wireless camera mounted to the front of the vehicle. This allows drivers
following the truck to see the road ahead and know when it’s safe to
overtake without moving into the oncoming lane. The Safety Truck
prototypes were successfully trialed in Argentina.
