I don't see any reason why they couldn't make a half helmet like that too.

This is all well and good, but does not stop your neck from being snapped when you hit the pavement. how much of a vegetable do you want to be? Take me out first hand, but don't let me be a mushroom!!

Ha that thing reminds me of those glasses they used to sell back in the 80's with little rearview mirrors on each side.

That's just a myth. There is no real evidence to back up that statement. You would think all the road racers would have broken necks, since they crash quite often? I'm sure you have a much better chance of not becoming a vegetable by not wearing a helmet?
Check out this guys crash about two thirds of the way through this video. I wonder why he didn't break his neck?

The best thing would just Put a Video monitor in one of the Mirrors or a center Mount. I like being able to glance at it when I need it and not sure I would like it in front of me all the time, way to distracting.

I wear whatever will be most comfortable depending on the weather and ride plan. But I'm thinking what a biotch it is with the sun in your eyes while riding in to the sunset... now it's a biotch riding away from it too.

Interesting idea. I wonder if I might not find it more distracting then helpful. I usually know pretty well what is behind me because I just passed it.
