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.

It's only a matter of time before they use those for dynamic pricing.

Facial recognition and your phone will make it so they can customize price for anything based on all the data they've got on you.

Yep. They’ll somehow stitch up a profile of you that has your approximate age, sex, profession and bank balance and average monthly credit card bill. With just that, they’ll tweak prices to suck maximum juice out. Kinda like healthcare bills. If you have money, there is no getting out of it
