Change your car’s color with an app- BMW

By J.Lo

“This is really energy efficient colour change using the technology E Ink,” BMW research engineer Stella Clarke said “so we took this material  it’s kind of a thick paper  and our challenge was to get this on a 3D object like our cars.”

German carmaker BMW has unveiled the world’s first “color-changing” car at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.

The concept car, called  BMW iX Flow, uses electronic ink technology normally found in e-readers to transform  car’s exterior into  variety of patterns in gray and white.

When stimulated by electrical signals controlled by  phone app, the material brings different pigments to the surface, causing the car to take on different shade or design, such as racing stripes.

In the future, the changes would also be controlled by  button on car’s dashboard or perhaps even by hand gestures, Clarke said.

No energy is needed to maintain the colour the driver selects, according to BMW.

“My favorite use case is the use of colour to influence sunlight reflections,” said Clarke… “on a hot, sunny day like today, you could switch  colour white to reflect sunlight…on a cold day, you could switch it black to absorb heat.”

Though the vehicle displayed at CES could only alternate between gray and white, the technology will be expanded to cover  spectrum of colour, according to BMW
