BMW made a car that can change colors. Thanks to the same tech used in e-readers, this BMW can change its appearance at the touch of a button.
Right now, changing a car's exterior color involves a traditional painting process. But what if you could do it at the touch of a button? That's a feature BMW is investigating with the help of E Ink technology, and the German automaker brought a color-changing prototype car to CES 2022 this week.Dubbed the iX Flow, this electric SUV prototype uses the electrophoretic technology found in E Ink to change its exterior color almost immediately. How's it work? The iX has a special wrap that brings different color pigments to the surface via electrical stimulation. The color-changing effect can go from front to back, side to side, in stripes, in blotches and so on. The E Ink wrap allows for this adjustability.
