Driving a Chameleon Car

The 2022 Consumer Electronic Show took place in Vegas from January 5th to January 7th, and offered the usual collection of exciting new technology, from robot vacuums and TVs to cell phone and PC technology. In recent years, cars have also become a focal point of the show, especially around EV-related tech. 

 

Every major car manufacturer and software developer had something to show at CES 2022, including Chrysler announcing its vehicles would be entirely electric by 2028. But perhaps the most exciting reveal was the BMW iX Flow, which uses a patented E-ink technology to create a color-changing vehicle.

 

The monochromatic iX Flow is currently a concept vehicle, using a special electrophoretic wrap that makes the panels capable of shifting through every shade of the grayscale spectrum. From cooling the cabin in summer time, to making cars easier to notice in massive parking garages, E-ink as car paint is still unproven technology - but is easily the most exciting thing to happen to car paint in decades.
