BMW has presented a SUV electric car with 619CV and 575 kilometers of autonomy, the BMW IX Flow.That may get your attention, but what has raised more comments has been his painting.Just pressing a button you can get the car to combine with the color of your clothes.This is achieved thanks to the electronic ink implemented by E-Ink sheets, which make the car go from white to black and a degraded effect between medias.We discover what this BMW is like that changes color.
For the development of this BMW, the German brand has allied with the E-Ink specialist, a company that produces protective films capable of changing color.Although we are used to change certain details in new cars such as driving mode or the intensity of lighting inside, BMW has gone one step further with this prototype by being able to change the color of the body thanks to thistechnology.
BMW has presented its prototype that changes color in the CES, the largest technological fair of how many are held internationally.Although many of its novelties will not reach the market, they do advance part of the technology that will mark the future of many sectors.Therefore, it becomes a showcase in which companies presume their technological potential.
As for the practical use of this novel technology, we could apply it when we have parked our car in a parking lot but we are not able to find it.Just by giving a button, you can make it shine with its color change and thus locate it quickly.
However, at the moment we will not be able to see this color change in the streets.The BMW IX Flow that changes color has been a prototype that demonstrates which technologies could be applied in the world of short -term automotive, but will not be available (for the moment) in serial models.
On the other hand, the color change from black to white could also be a plus for when we parked our electric car on the street.In summer, black cars catch the heat more with what to lower the interior temperature is an extra effort for batteries.
