Good idea or not?

"...works in all weather conditions..." may be a bit optimistic.
During the recent wet period in Houston, there was a panel truck with screens mounted on it (electronic screens with changing messages, not a camera view, so not sure if it was Samsung or not) that I traveled alongside for quite some distance in mid-town Ewe-stun.
After about a mile of rain and puddles, the upper quarterpanel screen on the drivers side (left) of the truck simply went dark; after another 500 yards, the lower rear quarterpanel (same side) went fuzzy. May have been a software issue or mechanical failure, but it sure "felt" like a weather-driven incident.
Nevertheless, cool truck. If the trucking company would spend the $$, a forward camera view would be neat.
