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.

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?

Oh yeah this totally works: the car in front of you can monetize this effort by showing you ads in its video stream!
