Samsung tests new ‘see-through’ Safety trucks which will allow drivers to see ahead
Samsung is working on a technology to let people see through giant trucks on the road. The safety truck prototype mounts a wireless camera on the front of the vehicle and live-streams the view onto a giant wall of four video screens on the back.
If you're stuck behind a large truck, you'll have a clear, real-time view of oncoming traffic. You can also see any obstacles or traffic that might otherwise catch you off guard. You won't see Samsung's high-tech rigs on the streets anytime soon.
Samsung said in a statement that the prototype truck is no longer operational but that the "idea can definitely save the lives of many people."
Samsung believes its new technology, which also works at night, will save lives.
Tests of prototype trucks have, according to the Korean tech company, already proved successful.
‘The next step,’ says Samsung ‘is to perform the corresponding tests in order to comply with the existing national protocols and obtain the necessary permits and approvals.’
The company adds: ‘For this, Samsung is working together with safe driving NGOs and the government.’
Samsung tested it with one truck in Argentina, though it's no longer on the road. Argentina has the fifth highest number of car accidents in the world, according to Samsung's post on the project, so it's a natural place so develop the technology.
This is not the first time someone has attempted to make "transparent" cars with cameras. In Japan, researchers used mirrors and cameras to make a Toyota Prius see-through. Jaguar is working on a system that will use cameras to give drivers a 360-degree view of what's outside the car, projecting it inside to compensate for blind spots.
