Samsung is introducing the Safety Truck which aims to make driving easier and safer when you're stuck behind a large truck.

The prototype has since been pulled from the roads, but it will continue to develop the technology with the assistance of nonprofits and government regulators.

The prototype truck uses a front-facing camera that is live streamed onto its back doors, so drivers following the over-size vehicle can see what is ahead. This allows drivers to have a better view when deciding whether it is safe to overtake.
