At CES 2022 BMW showcased its iX Flow Concept with a unique grayscale electronic wrapping that transitions from white, to gray, to black. This chameleon-like wrap relies on “E Ink” technology to change colors. The same technology that the Amazon Kindle series uses on its displays. E Ink uses very little energy to transition from one color to the next which makes it ideal for this vehicle wrap. Although it’s a concept, the idea of expressing the driver’s mood is feasible in the not-so-distant future.
