BMW | the world’s first car that changes colour!

BMW has introduced a car in Germany that changes color using e-ink technology. The model of this car is CES 2022.

The vehicle is being modified and tested using e-ink technology instead of standard metal plates. This is the same technology used in Amazon’s popular Kundal e-reader and is used as a way to instantly change color.

BMW has used the technology in this car, which is commonly found in e-readers, to convert the exterior of the car into a variety of gray and white patterns.

BMW is set to launch its first all-electric SUV to pre-order customers in March.

Stella Clarke, project lead for the car, said in a media briefing that while the iX Flow’s color changing is “kind of crazy,” it could also offer some “sensible use cases” beyond creative expression. For example, it could display messages like charging status and blink if drivers lose sight of it and need to find it in a cramped parking lot. 

Although actual vehicle is BMW’s new electric SUV, don’t expect to see color-changing cars at your local dealership right away, as the color-changing technology isn’t slated to go into production yet.  

And even then, an all-the-colors-of-the-rainbow car may still a long way off. The model on display in Vegas can only change colors in shades of white, gray and black, although the technology could – in theory – offer other colors. 

Car colors are controlled via an application on smartphones, but in the future these changes will be controlled with a button on the car’s dashboard or perhaps even hand gestures.
