I like the idea as long as it is spectator friendly. Obstructed viewing for drivers can sometimes mean obstructed views for fans. Many regional stadiums are in the "end zone" of hockey/basketball arenas and spectators are viewing over the heads of the drivers.

This last season we learned that vision processing was difficult, only handled well by a few teams. Viewing unprocessed video on the driver's station was fairly common though.
