From what I see in this, there is no less visibility from this and any other sleeper cab tractor. If you are looking for a day cab, they have that as well.

Then one thinks of all the new techie toys finding their way into all sorts of vehicles. I could easily see mirror controls on the steering wheel with memory. I can even go to the point of side profile embedded cameras that would detect the angular movement of the trailer so they would follow the trailer angle and not the cab.

There exist multiple camera systems connected to a racing data logger that allows the prototype cars to see up to four different cameras that the driver would page through. All of them paging on the same data display that normally shows the digital dash. Today’s drivers don’t need to be watching their gauges as the intelligence in these data dashes will alert the driver when something goes out of the customized configuration for a particular sensor. If an alarm condition is triggered, the dash automatically switched to the page programmed in that lets the driver know what is wrong and at what reading the system is detecting. They are also configurable to acknowledge the alarm condition and increasing the set point slightly up to three times.

Most would be amazed at what is achievable and I would believe as advanced as this truck appears to be that not considering something like the racing data dashes would not be starting to find their way into these.
