Get a forward camera view from that vehicle right ahead of you. It of course needs cooperation, but it could make certain maneuvers safer, to my mind.

I think this feature used to be called "not tailgating"
While I understand your point there are other issues that could be solved similarly.
For example, trying to turn from my driveway across two lanes of bumper-to-bumper traffic.
In the US it'd be a left hand turn, but for me in Australia it's a right hand turn.
I wish I could get easier, better visibility of the moving traffic before I turn into that lane. It is always awkward, slow, and difficult. Especially when I am in my normal car surrounded by SUV's.
Not anymore with age of SUV.
This. Trucks. too.

Don't forget "untinted windows". When every car is a sedan, a hatchback, or a regular cab pickup with untinted windows, you can see through the next 5 cars just fine.
There's already technology to shade a window, presumably with LCD. I'm sure people would pay for the privilege of being able to control how tinted their windows are.

How would you watching a different car driving make your driving safer?
He can now safely overtake on a blind curve.
Oh yeah this totally works: the car in front of you can monetize this effort by showing you ads in its video stream!
“Yo, yo, yo! What’s up‽ If you’re here, you’re watching my livestream of the turn up ahead, brought to you by that underwear with carbon in it so you don’t smell swampy! Don’t forget to smash those like and subscribe buttons … “
