Imagine changing the colour of your car based on your mood. BMW has tied up with a company E-ink to do just that. The automaker launched an innovative SUV concept vehicle called BMW iX Flow on January 5, 2022. This model is embedded with electrophoretic technology that changes colours from black to white or mixes both black and white to form a kaleidoscope of colours across its body. The challenge is not so much the technology but how to apply it to a car. They’re laser-cutting it into a three-dimensional curved screen and using wrap technique to switch the car’s colour. The wrap consists of different colours, which when combined with electrical signals, the hue gets changed. BMW says, the aim is to "immerse users in individualised digital experiences both inside and outside of its vehicles."  Source: Mashbale India
