Transparent trailer? Is that like the invisible jet? ;D

On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.

Fantastic idea. Closely related to the Samsung "invisible truck" idea - http://www.autoblog.com/2015/06/25/samsung-see-through-truck-technology

A real safety advance through technology. Also very similar to the "virtual sunroof" concept - https://www.google.com/patents/US20130235351

Again, brilliant.

Hmmm, LR owners will probably forget that they're towing a trailer resulting in all manner of wrecks.   ;D
