Samsung devises a "transparent" truck that will avoid accidents

Statistics from Argentina reveal that every hour there is a traffic accident with fatal consequences. A good part of these accidents are head-on collisions between cars that occur after one of them tried to overtake a heavy vehicle using the opposite lane. In Spain, although the accident rate is lower, this type of accident caused by "risky" overtaking of trucks is also very frequent.

To avoid this type of accident, the ideal thing would be for the truck that is that overtaking was "transparent", that is, that it would show if any vehicle is coming from the front before starting the maneuver. With this same premise, Samsung has developed the revolutionary "Safety Truck" technology. In the front part of the truck, in the cabin area, there is a video camera that films the road. The recorded images are played on the screens from the rear of the trailer so that the car behind can check in real time if there is a vehicle ahead before deciding to overtake the truck.The system also has a night vision device that allows it to work at night.< /p>

The Samsung Safety Truck is currently undergoing tests in Argentina, which are showing very promising results.The next step before its commercialization will be to evaluate the cost of implementing the system in the entire fleet of heavy vehicles and determine if it would be viable. active in high-quality lubricating oils of the Cepsa brand, in different graduations, with discounts of between 30 and 40%.
