    I know, I know, but hackers can find a way, or maybe the driver can rig up a tv..

    Gotta look at the possibilities

    but over all..?? a stupid idea. If it becomes government mandated, what will the costs be? Will mom and pop or owner operators be forced to pay for such stupid tech..??

    Here is a video on you tube.. not sure if it is the same one from CBS as it's not playing on original link for me


    It's funny cause they are promoting safety but yet look at all the cars that passed the truck.. Didn't leave any space in front of the truck when they came back into the lane.... Especially the one guy who passed and there was a car right there already.. Didn't leave much space at all there...

    I'm sure Samsung has all the seasons figured out too. Probably wash's it self with a heated screen for winter month's. Put your car auto pilot and change channels.

    So if a headlight is out, or there is fog and a car still passes and slams head on into an oncoming car, who is at fault?

    Best to leave this idea on the drawing board, and let the paper yellow with age.
