The first bus to stall at a traffic light is going to bring the school system to a halt.
It'll bring Boston traffic to a halt. Not that anyone will notice the difference.

Now... how about the display being a large vertical panel between you and the windshield that turns opaque when it needs to be a touchscreen display (to pick your route or to watch a movie or something during your trip) and turns clear if you want to see the world outside?
We could also make it turn opaque when something outside might alarm you...
I can't speak for the video, but the audio streams are geo-blocked due to so-called "international distribution rights" and the fees the "rights holders" want to allow broadcast of those streams to the US (primarily). What really drives me nuts is that I exclusively listened to the Radio 3 feed, which was 100% Canadian artists, and taking a sampling of some of the more popular artists from that station, none were actually represented by the "rights holder" group that has been scapegoated as causing geo-blocking of Canadian radio internet stream (I don't recall exactly which RH group it was). So what has effectively happened is that a large number of Canadian artists has been blocked from being exposed to an international audience due to an American entity who has no relationship with them because they aren't being paid their tribute.
The fact that CBC R3 has devolved into a programmed Pandora-like stream with no live DJs is a separate issue.
