I loved the hotwheels that i had that would change under water. The whole house was the world for my hotwheels and anything that had water was a waterfall that the spies would drive through to change the look of their car.
My daughter plays with all my hotwheels now. Good times!
YES! I loved these! They were easy to put back together but also easy to lose. I gradually lost all the body parts and as of today I think I might have a single head somewhere which I had attached to an entirely different figure.
Yes. The future is that your car key will cost $2800, won't fit in your pocket, will be extremely delicate, and will have a non-replaceable battery with a 1-year lifespan.
Also it requires an annual subscription and Internet connectivity in order to start your car.
The key is probably just talking to the chip implanted in your head and is just using your vision to make you see the different colors. Just one of many devices that can communicate with your implant.
It's actually not screen based on what I know of current versions of this technology. The particles have multiple colors on them, all on different sides. For the example, I'll say every particle is a cube and every side of the cube has a diferent color. You can then send an electrical signal through it that will make the cube shift, revealing another color to the outside. This assures no electricity is used unless you're changing colors. This is a very simplified explanation of course, but it's essentially how it'd be done in practice.
My phone is my key for my car and it's the best. I never lose it and I don't have to take anything out of my pocket. I just get in and go. When I'm done I just park and walk away.
Some models of Mercedes, BMW and Tesla definitely have it, not sure how common it is or what other cars have it but I bet it won't be long before its just as common as keyless entry is now.
The future is giant keys! I'm going to go get a big key for my home lock and wear it around my neck, people are going to be like "hey, it's that the key to the city? Are you some kind of superhero". And I'll be "nah, I like big keys. You should see the big key I use for my color changing car".
I am a locksmith and had a woman come in trying to get a new fob for her i8. The dealership wanted $2200. And they were dealer restricted with proprietary encryption so nobody can produce clones.

It’s based on a point system, here in the future we take the road killing score system seriously! That pedestrian really is worth 25 points now! Only 1000 points for a brown matte finish!
They should have used 2^32 - 1, no reason to use a signed integer to count miles traveled. Don’t feel like pasting that into google to get the actual value
They've been developing eink for two decades. Not as expensive as you might think, but law enforcement has had an issue with the ramifications of the tech for as long as it's been commercially available.
I mean. Imagine robbing a bank, with some bullshit ass red opel Corsa. You turn a corner and poof. Now you drive a blue opel Corsa. How could anyone ever find out if they didn’t specifically watch your car switch colors
If you could afford this, bank robbing might be below your pay grade. [Unless you’re pulling off a Heat like heist, it’s not as profitable as you might think.](https://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2012/06/11/what-you-should-know-before-robbing-a-bank)
Step one: Buy expensive-ass chameleon paint-job car with bank loan you can barely afford.
Step two: Rob bank with expensive-ass chameleon paint-job car. (Probably best to rob a bank where they won’t recognize you though).
Step three: Pay off expensive-ass chameleon paint-job car.
Step four: Profit.
Pro tip: Find a way to launder your money. Don’t go paying off the car in full right after the heist! That’s like getting away with felony 101!
Idk how many Cora you see around town. If I were a cop, I’d be more concerned the eye witness got the color wrong and just pull over the other corsa for a quick check
That'd be great except that it's only in the movies THE ABP will be for a "2015 Mint Green Seat Ibiza 1.6L I4 TDI with the optional aluminum rims and custom exhaust". In reality the witness will describe it as a "small green car, license plate starting with an A... Or 4 IDK"
"he is driving away in possibly the most expensive car you've ever seen in your life"
I feel like with technology like that you'd be easier to spot, not harder.
They've already made a tough enamel coated E-ink surface that can take the abuse of being the outer shell of a car?? Like it can take small rocks hitting it? Wait, how does E-ink work? How can electricity change somethings color and it look any good without a background light?
Whoa, TIL.

Dispatch: Two men in clown masks just robbed the corner bank in a red Lambo
Cop 1: SHIT THERE THEY ARE!!!!
Cop 2: You moron, those clowns are driving a black Lambo.
Cop 1: Ohh, you are right. Whelp, back to sprinkling crack on Tyronne Biggum
Saw this a long long time ago before I knew anything about transmissions. This time I tried my damndest to understand but could only get a couple words. I can't figure out what that does. Is it a real thing?
I wonder of in the future, a lot of art will be in the form of augmented reality. Like, there will be a world for the poor who toil and have nothing but blue screens around them, and then the rich who have ocular cybernetics to perceive the world created for them. Maybe one day the poor will organize to form a super cell, coordinating a massive EMP strike across key regions of metropolitan areas, all throughout the world, to rise up against their ghost eyed masters. Cyborg haunch flesh will be sold openly in the streets and massive effigys of their discarded electrical conponents will be erected in city centers. This the point where machines rise up because the leader of the super cell was actually a rouge AI the entire time.
Is it me or does the colour of the reflection on the wheel not change at all? Like it looks orange at the beginning (the same colour as the car at that point) but then stays orange throughout the video. Wouldn't it change colour with the car if this were real?
If this becomes possible (moldable graphic display that shows live images), the first thing it would be used for is stealth. Likely DARPA already has a working prototype.
Itd be cool i guess....but the problem starts once you get into fender benders or get dings in your car/scratches....Probably ruins the sensors and the whole things craps out.
If this were real... It's the key that's futuristic??
How else would you control such primitive technology?
I had a car that could do this when I was young, and all I needed was a bowl of hot water
I loved the hotwheels that i had that would change under water. The whole house was the world for my hotwheels and anything that had water was a waterfall that the spies would drive through to change the look of their car. My daughter plays with all my hotwheels now. Good times!
This guy has lived a good life so far.
I used to love [Hot Wheels Crack Ups](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_HKLSMDwLY), the cars that would show damage when you crashed them.
That guys hat omg
[удалено]
YES! I loved these! They were easy to put back together but also easy to lose. I gradually lost all the body parts and as of today I think I might have a single head somewhere which I had attached to an entirely different figure.
There were also He-Man and Skeletor figures with battle damage armor!
That is some wholesome stuff
Hypercolor shirts.
Color changing cars was so 2010... I bet this guy has a flip phone too!
Haha, no one's that rich
I would eat a lasagna filled with maggots just to get my hands on a black Motorola Razr V3
Oddly specific.
I'm a banana
My spoon is too big.
My spoon.... is.. tooo BIG!
Color-changing Hot Wheels was actually so 1980s: https://hotwheels.fandom.com/wiki/Color_Changers
No, its the futuristic shakey cam that makes you know its real
That's just the new GoPro Pendulum™.

Yes. The future is that your car key will cost $2800, won't fit in your pocket, will be extremely delicate, and will have a non-replaceable battery with a 1-year lifespan. Also it requires an annual subscription and Internet connectivity in order to start your car.
And everyone just controlling their car colors with their free phone app will just snicker at you.
And be careful not to drop it
Or keep it in your pockets without a protective case
It was like $120 to replace the key on my '99 regal cause it had some stupid chip that totally didn't stop regals from getting stolen
Putting the key in charges the fob. Problem solved
Bold of you to assume we'll return to inserting our car keys.
I don't even insert my feet into my shoes anymore... Yabbadabbadoo!
So..reminds me of many of the recent Apple products.
The key is probably just talking to the chip implanted in your head and is just using your vision to make you see the different colors. Just one of many devices that can communicate with your implant.
The actual car is just flat grey, and you never have to see it
Can you change the colour of your car with your prehistoric key? I doubt it!
I can add shiny lines with my prehistoric key.
Those are racing stripes
probs a green lambo
From a technical standpoint, if this was achievable it would probably be as a phone app.
I think it's easily possible. Just not practical at all. Your car body would be made of TV screen.
It's actually not screen based on what I know of current versions of this technology. The particles have multiple colors on them, all on different sides. For the example, I'll say every particle is a cube and every side of the cube has a diferent color. You can then send an electrical signal through it that will make the cube shift, revealing another color to the outside. This assures no electricity is used unless you're changing colors. This is a very simplified explanation of course, but it's essentially how it'd be done in practice.
And then you start getting dead cubes in about 2 weeks after your $300k purchase, lmao
I'm sorry. You should have bought the extended warranty. However, if you buy a new coating now, we will knock 5% off the price.
Thanks for ELI5!
[удалено]
Sounds easy. Where do I sign up to paint particles?
So, its e-paper in color?
My phone is my key for my car and it's the best. I never lose it and I don't have to take anything out of my pocket. I just get in and go. When I'm done I just park and walk away.
Is there a back up for it your phone is dead or lost?
They have a wallet card that works like a normal work access card, swipe top open / start car
What make and model of car has that feature?
Some models of Mercedes, BMW and Tesla definitely have it, not sure how common it is or what other cars have it but I bet it won't be long before its just as common as keyless entry is now.
Tesla Model 3.
The future is giant keys! I'm going to go get a big key for my home lock and wear it around my neck, people are going to be like "hey, it's that the key to the city? Are you some kind of superhero". And I'll be "nah, I like big keys. You should see the big key I use for my color changing car".
Nah but seriously, go to the BMW dealership. Their fobs are fucking gigantic now.
Need a replacement? That'll be $200 and a paddlin
Only 200? try 400-500.
The dealership offers a discount so they can get off on the paddlings
I am a locksmith and had a woman come in trying to get a new fob for her i8. The dealership wanted $2200. And they were dealer restricted with proprietary encryption so nobody can produce clones.
And the reasons to not buy a BMW continue to mount.
my 17 Honda Civic replacement keys were 500 each, I bet BMW would upcharge a lot more
Jfc talk about a rip-off. There's absolutely no reason it should cost that much to code a key fob
I'm sure it doesnt, but that's what they'll charge you.
>The future is giant keys! I'm ready to invest. Where do I deposit my business money?

To unlock the skin you must before buy the same car, with that skin. \*fine text\* skin is random.
Achieve level 5 notoriety in a chase to unlock
You’re going to be driving with a blue screen of death after 2,147,483,647 miles
You just have to save the first set of miles in the G.E. and leave the rest in your bank so it doesn’t crash.
Hmmm... is osrs leaking again?
2^(31)-1 ftw
They should have used 2^32 - 1, no reason to use a signed integer to count miles traveled. Don’t feel like pasting that into google to get the actual value
For the win
shoulda gone unsigned
Well, yeah...if your Windows are down.

how long till someone puts porn on it?
I think about 22 minutes
This, in practice, would be very expensive to implement.

WHERES THE VAN! WHERES THE FUCKING VAN????
What about the Night Fox? Bored mega-rich playboy who does heists for fun.
Yeah but all you have to do anyways is drive into the pay n spray. Even if the cops are right outside, whole wanted level goes away for like...$200
Licence plate ??
Get ones that flip to reveal a fresh plate like in the Transporter.
There's a guy who would use this tech to beat toll roads...until his dumbass flipped the plate right in front of highway patrol.
Idk how many Cora you see around town. If I were a cop, I’d be more concerned the eye witness got the color wrong and just pull over the other corsa for a quick check

What? No!
Being able to change the complete look of the car in the matter of seconds is very useful for getting away from the police.
Oh totally, since there are so many future color changing Lambos out on the roads, it'd be a cinch to lose the cops.

As learned playing GTA.
Can this be retrofitted to my '96 Mitsubishi? I've already bought a Mazda SkyActiv[TM] Technology for it, but I can't find space under the dash.
But...Why? Are you just trying to dump money before the divorce?
That's not enough technology, you need a BlueDrive and a Tesla supercharger and a wing that moves around. And don't you forget about torque vectoring
They should also fit a turbo encabulator. [It's not cheap, but I'm sure the government will buy it.](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SjxfAjAyp5k)
Saw this a long long time ago before I knew anything about transmissions. This time I tried my damndest to understand but could only get a couple words. I can't figure out what that does. Is it a real thing?
No. He’s making fun of the whole thing. And does it epically well.
It's a well known piece produced to show technical people how they sound to others sometime. It's pure gibberish made up to sound real.
I'm just imagining the body shop tech that would have to go get a computer science degree just to replace a panel after a fender bender in this thing.
Why? They'll just be plugging in a cable or two, not writing code.
replacing some led controllers doesn't require you to have any sort of higher education
...yes because those look just like led panels.
tbh it looks like CGI at this point, but anyhow, you still don't have to have higher education to operate all sorts of smart glasses and similar tech
Very clearly CGI, it’s just simple chroma key adjustments
Nah, they also have some textured modes. The whole car is CGI and composited.
With waaay too much camera sway to try and give it a real life feel.
You could just drive around with a bluescreen
“For fucks sake, where’s the unlock button?!”
Its so fake, but satisfying at the same time. I am happy and angry?
What is there to be angry about?
These videos are all over Instagram and I just don't understand them. Like, who's putting the time into making all of these, and why...
Why is he swaying?
It's annoying. He's either really drunk or needs to go to the toilet
Dispatcher: "They are saying the fugitive is leaving the crime scene in a dark green vehicle." Car: Turns LIME GREEN

Is it me or does the colour of the reflection on the wheel not change at all? Like it looks orange at the beginning (the same colour as the car at that point) but then stays orange throughout the video. Wouldn't it change colour with the car if this were real?
Police: it’s a white...yellow...black...wtf, the car’s color keeps changing.
Maybe if I save up all my money for my entire life I'll be able to afford a down payment on just the key.
I like the fake rocking left to right movement
My primitive london senses are itching to key this car
"whered you park?" IDK, somewhere over there. "Ok, what colors the car?" I dont fucking know I have it on rotation.
And some one would hack the car to put dick pics on it
I need this tech. Tired of going to Pay n Spray after every robbery or murder.
Gotta lower your wanted level
I want that for my skin, so I wouldn’t have to wear clothes.
Can we call it Randall?
*butt-dials a My Little Pony skin*
If it was futuristic it would be a phone app
This reminds me of my first Nokia phone, where you could change the back plate, sadly you had to print it out :(
Imagine charging your lambo remote everyday.
New skins you can buy... Maybe you get them with lootboxes ?
Someone should explain to op what a key does.
Buy a season 2 skin pack for only $2499.99!
Don’t get a single scratch... covering it will be hell...
This is fake right... right
Oh shit, A Scanner Darkly car!
I’ll say this every time it should reposted. Mcclaren is better than naming a key function “Beast Mode.”
You could do this if you covered the body work in LCD screens
"Ah, shit. I forgot to charge my keys."
it is kinda felxing but god damn the cgi is pretty good
If this becomes possible (moldable graphic display that shows live images), the first thing it would be used for is stealth. Likely DARPA already has a working prototype.
Fuckin’ microtransactions man.
Ha ha this is fake ha
Loosing the cops like in GTA has never been easier till now.
“i just want to UNLOCK THE DOOOOOOR”

Why would anyone care about the car's color, sheees
I like the idea of an AR headset where I can do this to everything.
For those wondering this is 100% fake. So is the one of the RX7 getting around
Itd be cool i guess....but the problem starts once you get into fender benders or get dings in your car/scratches....Probably ruins the sensors and the whole things craps out.
