EU will like these huge windshields, because of the pedestrian safety.

"Contrary to passenger cars, there are currently no direct vision requirements for trucks. Direct vision – what you can see with your own eyes – has a number of benefits compared to indirect vision (mirrors and camera’s). To measure direct vision the Commission should use a standardised methodology."

Very nice summary on truck blindspots : https://www.transportenvironment.org/sites/te/files/publicat...




Huge windshields are good for pedestrian safety, enhanced autopilot with every truck sold is fantastic for pedestrian safety.
