For those who often venture in Malaysia, you might find a truck could that could show you the road ahead on a b-road particularly useful because it would be great to know when to overtake and when to stay put. So someone smart from Samsung installed a wireless camera at the front of a truck and connect it to a display at the back of it. The screen would then display an image of what is at ahead at the back of the truck. The system also works during the night thanks to a night vision sensor, which would come in handy whenever you find yourself driving on a country road with absolutely no artificial illumination in sight. We hope this simple and brilliant idea would be implemented soon because we believe this technology could really lessen the risk of a frontal collision by quite a bit! https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=68&v=ZetSRWchM4w

- Malaysian Route 1 (near Tampin, Negeri Sembilan)- Or the old road from Kuala Lumpur to Johor Bahru. Traffic jam free on Chinese New Year's day. Although this would be slightly belated, I'd like to wish all the readers of myautoblog a Happy belated Chinese New Year. Now some of you may have traveled up north into Malaysia during the holidays either for the traditional reunion or for some well deserved R&R. But traveling in Malaysia during any festive season tends to be a little tiresome and stressful. This is because everyone takes advantage of the holidays to go somewhere. Whether to their hometown, some holiday destination or just to travel to that certain prawn mee shop a few hundred kilometers from where they are at just to find some good food. It is because of this and the fact that Malaysia registers at least 150,000 cars a year and at each household has an average of one car or two per house. Add the fact that there is at least 26 million Malaysians and half reside in big towns or cities, there is bound to be a major exodus every festive season. And Chinese New Year is one big exodus where even those not celebrating go on a holiday someplace. As such, the North South Highway is usually jammed on the eve of any festivity, sometimes on the day of the festivity and the last day of the festivity or the last day of the holidays. - My destination on Chinese New Year's day. But Kuala Lumpur to Seremban was a no-go. Average speeds were 30 km/h and stressful This year's Chinese New Year isn't an exception. I was on the road from Kuala Lumpur to Muar and the jam started a good 35 kilometers from Seremban
