    This may be old news to most of you, but I was drunk last night and decided to see what may (or may not) be in the future... James

    whatever happened to the holographic displays that were supposed to be the great up and coming thing, to replace the wind resistance of rear view mirrors?

    I think they figured out the Keep It Simple Stupid (KISS) concept works better than some technology. Like when the Israelis bought F15's from us years ago... they just added a rear view mirror ($20) and solved what the technology at the time couldn't.

    It's amazing what you'll come up with when you're surrounded by 10 million people who want to destroy you haha.

    seems to me the other kind of trucks we will see soon, like a nix of conventional and COE design, of course a lot of aerodinamics...

    and may be it is true that future trucks will tow b-double trailers.. not so long as aussie road trains, but longer we use to tow now

    Not totally dissimilar to the COE's of the 1950's....I like the part where the driver puts the seat back and goes for a snooze whilst driving.....should be fun if the electronics decide to blow a fuse or go to sleep as well...

    some ideas are reaally crazy, but conventional design will change, but not the european coe way. The difference is that newer trucks will get electric drive and now many truck makers know it and that's why till diesel truck is alive they will not make something really new, they'll keep making trucks of the design we use to see now.
