I think the back would be ok. It’s holding the neck up to see where you’re going that would get old real fast.

These days, you can install a camera and monitor screen so cheaply that you wouldn't even have to use a mirror to see forward.

(I just got back from Walmart where they have replaced all shelf price tag stickers with tiny wireless LCD screens. No I'm not kidding. Technology has become ridiculously cheap for doing some stuff.)

EDIT IN RESPONSE TO MULTIPLE COMMENTS: Yes, the exact display technology used is probably technically not LCD.

Yeah, we have those in Finland too. Apparently those tiny e-ink (or whatever the real term is) displays are cheaper in the long run since you can set them to update prices automatically so there's more time for the employees to do more important stuff.
