Cool video.  I agree, I've always wanted to see the view from the cars on the road. 

Plane got real lucky imho, it looks like a very busy highway.  Video doesn't show very well them finding a break in the traffic or power line crossings, and then there is the fortune they could land slow enough to not overtake the cars inront of them and the awareness of the cars behind them to brake.

He's landing at around 65 mph on a highway where cars rountinely go the same speed.

Hopefully he turned it 45 degrees and set the brake after getting out so the wing doesn't overhang the road.
