What about security?  What if someone inserts their own feed to the screen?

Maybe a clear view when there's traffic.  Or, something completely different.

"HIJACKED RIG - CALL 911"

"FREE WIFI - PASSWORD lk4noid87230u-01as6"
(Think about drivers typing that into a phone while in heavy traffic.)

Debbie does traffic!

Well, you would have something to watch when the traffic sucks.

I predict lots of rear end collisions as the dummies forget that they are watching a screen and assume that their following distance is what they see on screen, not their actual distance to the truck. Though far too many trucks will display inadequate following distance, that will not deter the dummies.

Finally someone who understands how bad a good portion of drivers really are.
