BMW color-changing car

[kya100]

We’ve seen color-changing cars before — in fact, we’ve even seen color changing BMWs before — but we haven’t quite seen one like the German automaker’s new concept car, the i Vision Dee. Unlike the iX Flow showcased at last year’s CES, which could smoothly transition between black, white, and shades of gray, the i Vision Dee can switch between 32 colors in multiple patterns thanks to a set of 240 e-ink displays that cover the exterior.

This is, of course, only a concept car, and none of BMW's color changing cars created with the help of digital paper manufacturer E Ink have made it into production so far. This year's model was designed to showcase BMW's vision for an augmented reality system and an AI assistant named Dee — two things that are, safe to say, won't be hitting public roads anytime soon. But it's still fun to see that the technology is at least getting close. Uh, closer.
