The days of frustrated motorists taking risks to overtake trucks on the open road could be coming to a close at least they are if Samsung takes its latest concept through to completion.

According to the Telegraph, the South Korean giant has previewed what it calls its ‘Safety Truck’-essentially a prime mover with the forward-facing camera setup that the will display the view of the road ahead on a giant screen that will be fixed on the trucks back, making the decision to overtake a long vehicle far less fraught.

The Screens mounted at the back gives the motorist a view of the road ahead as a seen from the front of the truck, making the decision to overtake a long vehicle far less fraught.

In something of a departure from Samsung’s usual endeavors, the company says it’s eyeing far loftier goals with its latest technological advance.

Samsung developed a technology for trucks that seeks to enrich the lives of people through innovation,” the company states on its official blog.

“But more than that, this time the goal is more ambitious: to save lives.”

The company has trailed the technology in Argentina-an unlikely nation perhaps, but one with a horrendous rate of road fatalities that claims, on average, one life every hour. A large proportion of accidents arise from other motorists trying to overtake on the sprawling nation’s two-lane roads, and that gave Samsung all the reason it needed to take action.

The technology that Samsung has developed is relatively easy. A wireless camera on the front of a truck is connected to the rear ‘Video Wall’, which itself compromises four exterior monitors. The display is useful day or night, and also potentially warns following motorists of impending hazards like accidents, breakdowns, or animals that have strayed onto the road.

Samsung says it supplied the large-format display samples and conducted testing with an Argentine B2B client while the slick YouTube clip supporting the concept was produced in partnership with Argentine giant Leo Burnett.
