It's probably one of those things which is only a concern for rich people who can already afford to have it fixed regardless of price. Would be interesting to know how deep of a scratch it can hold up to though.
It will probably last until one day after the warranty and then cost more than the value of the car to fix. It will be funny if one or two panels fail and get stuck different colors.
11:23 Jay is right about the registered color of the car, they now do have a multi color selection, mainly for people who wrap their cars every year to a new color.
To me, this is almost like a big DUH that his will never be in production because of the legality of it. I.e. a thief can get away and switch to another color.
It’s because you were groomed to believe certain limits to technology growing up subconsciously. We got tech that will blow your mind. Pay attention to movies it gives you more than you think
I used to break the chops of a friend of mine that had bright green paint on his road runner, saying the 'paint job was connected to the battery'. This one actually is! WOW!
E-ink works quit differently the LCD pixels do so stuck pixels aren’t an issue. The cause of a stick pixel in an LCD screen is generally because a particular pixel is either stuck always on or always off. With E-ink, the way it’s pixels work is that you have pixels that can be flipped from light to dark and back when a charge is applied and they remain that way even when power is turned off. This means an E-Ink display keeps its image even after power is turned off to the screen. Since it only applies power when updating the image on screen this allows devices like the Amazon Kindle E-Ink ebook reader to be able to operate on full charge for much longer then say a typical LCD tablet like the iPad. By adding color filters you can now have color E-Ink displays too. So with a E-Ini display, if a connection to a particular pixel was damaged then you couldn’t flip the pixel and would seem stuck but that doesn’t happen in the same and degree as it does with LCD displays. You’d likely have suffer physical damage to the screen to see this occur whereas LCD screens San be prone to this right from the factory due to inherent manufacturer imperfections. I would w Rory to much about this with E-Ink tech but we will have to see if they actually put this into production, assuming it’s made legal (where it currently isn’t).
"After I got that tailgate fixed the color is wrong". "Yes sir, we need to change the color resistor in the paint circuit to get the color match adjusted"
Fascinating tech. Like Jay said, the "color-changing" paint available on the Cobra Mustangs was cool for it's time as well. It was called Mystichrome Metallic. But this BMW reminds me for some reason of Blade Runner.
I wonder if you get paint chips in the hood or scratches in any of the panel of the car, will that at some point prevent the panel for changing color? or how expensive would be to repaint the car if you get in a fender bender? most likely the car would be considered totaled
I can't believe they didn't call it the BMW Chameleon or BMW Amazon Kindle Edition. Can be a great get-a-way car. Just add the 007 rotating plate tag too.
They had a similar thing in a James Bond movie, where the car became invisible by projecting scenery that was behind the car onto the car. They called it "adaptive camouflage," and it was in Die Another Day.
Jay thanks for mentioning BMW's art cars....Andy painted his BMW art car in 24 minutes. I did a quick deep dive into the BMW art cars after seeing this vid. Love the content!
First impression, ugly enough to make me do a u turn and drive the other way. The ugliest car I've seen in a while. A very expensive hi tech fugliness. I'll wait for the next ep. Not watching this one. Yuck
Even though I know this will never reach production, it's pretty cool. Wonder what the cost of the hardware in the prototype is. And I wonder how it would react to damage. Would the cells "die" in whatever color they are in at the time they are damaged, or would the ink material escape a damaged cell and it'd turn white?
It would be dope if they could somehow incorporate a way to gather energy from the paint as well. In reference to what Jay was saying about changing the colour in the summer to white and in the winter to black to absorb / disperse heat. The opposite effect would create energy.
Wish they could do something like this for the beaver front. Bmw can roll it off factory with their taste and then I can click a button to make it look nicer.
imagine the other drivers on the road losing their minds, wiping their eyes trying to figure out if it's just shadows being cast on the vehicle or if they need to have their eyes checked.
You can just see it as an option in 20 years. Each colour costing X amount, how many different colours you can change, limited edition colours etc.. game changer
That would defeat the purpose, people could just buy the normal painted version. Selling it as an option with 3 printer colors + black and white so you pay a premium for the option of any color on the spectrum.
Agreed. There once was a day when I respected and seriously admired BMW’s design and engineering. Then the Bangle butt showed up, and now the Lucy lips! Not to mention zero restraint with the creases and mindless whosywhatsits everywhere! BULK! Where’s the 2002tii in it? There isn’t anymore. And their shot at electric? Ah, no.
Make the paint flash in collision detection mode. Lighting (and paint in this case) technology is really taking off. The US just approved the use of "smart" headlight technology in passenger cars.
They should use e-Ink on school buses...yellow when transporting students and some other color to use school buses to increase the number of public transit buses when students are at school
Great Camo!! Armored vehicle would benefit from this tech. Camera takes a photo of what the vehicle is behind and replicates it and the vehicle virtually disappears
Finally, a car thats actually innovating and solves an actual problem (you'll be probably thinking if a person can buy a bmw they can afford a new paint but this concept can be replicated to cheaper cars in order to turn this into an standard)
@@Steven-vh6fg No, but it isn't but fewer distractions are still distractions. And yeah there are a lot of other things out there that distract people driving. This is a gimmick that is trying to get people to look at it.
Does it freeze in cold climates? If you use RGB pigments can you get a rainbow of color's? Can it be back lit with LEDs to produce a color of light? This reminds me of cuddle fish or octopus and how they use pigments in much the same way. I wonder how difficult it would be to repair a section. It looks like it has some time before it finds it way to everyday applications.
Interesting application, although I find it to be somewhat gimmicky. Seems like it would be distracting to other motorists too. If this does come to market, they will have to rewrite or make some new laws.

If they can incorporate the whole color spectrum it would save manufactures an enormous amount of time money and labor in the manufacturing process.

I could imagine that if you could change the color to any you preferred that would help stop customers from walking off a lot and dramatically increase sales.

Just like a regular BMW, after the new wears off, throw it away.
It will probably last until one day after the warranty and then cost more than the value of the car to fix. It will be funny if one or two panels fail and get stuck different colors.
