If you are stationery in a busy urban setting close to the sidewalk there is very little to stop anybody looking into the car and seeing that you are naked.
I have only been in that situation once but I was in stop-start traffic at walking pace for about half a mile with the pavements (sidewalks) busy with pedestrians. This was in France witha British car (RHD) so I was next to the kerb.
To the best of my knowledge, nobody noticed that I was naked.
I agree! Others may see my bare shoulders but not lower unless theyre in a high vehicle. I sit on a towel and if I think I may be seen I throw the remaining towel over my private area. Problem solved!
I do the same when I drive nude. I sit on one side of a large towel and throw the other half over my lap when necessary.
I tend not to worry about being seen, but do take precautions, such as not staying alongside the cabs of other vehicles for any longer than necessary, and not being aligned with adjacent vehicles at red lights.
Busses are more challenging, especially when one is almost alongside and the traffic light ahead is changing to red, but my offset approach still works, even if I have to leave an unusually big gap as I queue.
In my experience, pedestrians in populated areas are watching the traffic flow and the crossing signals rather than taking in who's in each vehicle and what they're wearing (or not). Admittedly, there's reasonable separation between the footpath and my lane which I know is not the case in, say, Europe.
As for truckies seeing things in others' vehicles, I suspect those drivers are intending to be seen rather than discretely enjoying nude time while on the move.

And from what I have read here and elsewhere, a substantial percentage of truck drivers are nude themselves.
I pretty much drive naked to work and back home from work every single day. I would entirely agree with Sunnyside Steve.......I also offset my vehicle when in street traffic, however on the freeway most drivers really are not looking at other drivers on the freeway. Sure I do prepare for the exception, but I can count on one hand the amount of times that I have been seen, so it's really a non issue to me anymore.
I enjoyed your post, but being offset at a red light is not possible in Massachusetts. If you did that here, there would be a chorus of horns blasting because you didn't move up for that 5 or 6 feet!
I drive nude in MA. You dont have to stay completely behind the car next to you, just far enough back to be in the blind spot of the driver next to you. Only if there is someone in the back seat would you need to stay back more, and that doesnt happen very often.
I stay out of others' blind spots for other reasons! Actually, I try to avoid staying alongside another vehicle at any position for any length of time. That also means I'm only momentarily alongside their cabin anyway. They'd have to simultaneously move on two axes
As a side note: try adjusting your exterior mirrors outwards. There's a point where they can still overlap with the view in your interior mirror (in most vehicles) and eliminate the blind spot between the outside of your mirror and your side window. It's a bit mind-bending at first but once you're used to it you won't want to go back.
