Using the HUD on the windshield and cameras in the front of the vehicle to help you visualize what is being blocked by your hood -- great 4WD idea!

Yeah, hopefully it gives a good view of what your tires are about to roll over, and it would be nice if they could show the angle/position of the tires as well.
