Well it is now. (Shamelessly stolen off Schtum elsewhere)  Art Lebedev's Transparentius eliminates opacity, improves road safety -- Engadget Good idea? Or will the myopic twats that follow 2' from the back of a truck STILL not be able to see whats up ahead cos they wont be able to see the whole screen?  |
 Respect commands itself and it can neither be given nor withheld when it is due. If I show you none, don't blame me. | |

Interesting idea..... My immediate thought though is that the screen will just be hijacked by advertising - can you imagine being stuck behind a constantly repeating series of 10 second ads?? urgh | |

Clearly one is going to pull out there over double whites though eh  and therefore the view up the right of the truck is great to set your up  |
  Before your dreams can come true, you have to have those dreams. | |

Too distracting, I think you would be paying too much attention to the lorry's back end as opposed to everything else.
