Samsung’s Safety Trucks take to the roads with large screens onboard
Samsung announced a Safety Truck concept last year that strapped huge screens to the backs of large trucks to help other drivers safely pass. The screens are attached to cameras at the front of the trucks to help give a peripheral view of the vehicles, which is especially valuable on a two-lane road.
That last part is important, considering the program was developed around roads in Argentina where most everything is a two-lane road. Overtaking trucks on a two-lane is particularly dangerous, so this project should theoretically make things a little safer for everyone involved.
The Safety Truck pilot program has now officially kicked off in Argentina to see how well it works out in the real world. If everything goes according to schedule, Samsung says they want to get the program worked out around the world in roughly four months. That’s a bold timeline, but if anyone has the cash and know-how to make it happen, it’s Samsung.
