While the rear view camera seems like a good idea, to me, the permanent heads-up display may be more distracting than useful, especially at night with headlight glare. On my CB11, what is directly back in my lane is partially blocked by my forearms, an advantage at night.
I have many more close calls from vehicles merging or cutting in my lane than from behind, so am constantly glancing left and right. The heads-up display would not help me there, and would give a false sense of security.
And noise cancellation? I doubt it would be very effective unless it could completely cover your ears. My cheap foam earplugs do a remarkably good job. (btw -that's Yoshi Kosaka of Garage Company in the last part of the vid)
