The BMW brand is one of the most coveted in the auto space. It is seen as a sign of having arrived; that one now has a taste for and can afford the finer things in life. Now the brand has come up with something new that is going to make this car even more desirable. A new sci-fi type feature is a colour-changing BNW car that was announced recently:
The BMW iX Flow featuring E Ink was announced via this tweet.
It doesn’t matter if you're black or white this TikTok video is captioned.
What black magic is this?
James Bond’s invisible car comes to mind.
In this police car chase, a white race car makes a pit stop and emerges as a red race car – completely foxing the police.
Video game makers also had this idea.
It was like a dream come true.
While some wanted to know about the tech that would make something like this possible, others just want the car.
Apparently, the BMW grille is a bummer – people just seem to hate it!
What about if the car was involved in a crime? A colour changing car would help the criminals escape detection.
Criminals would like the idea, thought a lot of people.
This tweet asks why anyone needs a colour-changing car. Fair point. One reply to the tweet said, “Why do you need lightshows and fart noises on demand?” Also a fair point.
Car registrations include the colour of the vehicle --- what colour would one put in this case?
People had a lot of questions in response to this video – that is it going to cost?
How hideously expensive will repairs be – considering that BMW paint touchups are very expensive anyway?
All the possible flaws and potential misuse notwithstanding, the main question about the BMW colour-changing car is – how is this even possible and what on earth is electronic ink technology?
