I wonder if they'll go the whole way and have the driver facing backwards, using monitors to see the road? Or was that the MSV?

correct - it was the SPV

The grey-blue vehicle has ten sets of wheels (six sets over the front, middle and rear axles which are double) and an auxiliary traction system of hydraulically lowered caterpillar tracks at the rear. The driver and passengers are seated facing backwards to reduce impact in the event of a collision, with a large video monitor displaying the road ahead and behind. A co-driver mans the weaponry systems, which include a front-mounted cannon. SPVs are distributed around the world at specific Spectrum safehouses, which are disguised, often as commercial buildings. Spectrum agents can obtain access to an SPV upon showing their identification.

Of course, the real question is whether the Institute of Advanced Motorists will need to update their "quarter-to-three to ten-to-two" steering wheel policy. ;)
