Apparently, if you pass a truck in Argentina, you stand a good chance of dying. At least that’s the message behind an experimental truck being shown by Samsung that provides a clear view of what lies ahead.
Called the Samsung Safety Truck (but with a funky spelling of truck), it has a front-mounted camera that displays oncoming traffic to four large monitors mounted on the trailer’s rear doors. Samsung, with its background in technology, was able to solve the problem of sun glare diffusing the monitor’s visibility, according to The Verge.

Okay, so it's not really see through, but cool all the same, and potentially a huge step up in road safety. I always am wary when passing an 18 wheeler and try to get the maneuver completed as quickly as possible.
