This week on Dezeen, car brand BMW released images of its updated electric iX SUV vehicle, which is wrapped in "digital paper" that can change colour.
Named iX Flow, the concept car is designed by BMW to change from black to white at the switch of a button to suit a driver's personal taste or changing weather.
According to the brand, by turning their car a reflective white in the sun or heat-absorbing black in the cold, drivers could help cut the electric vehicle's energy consumption and in turn increase its range.
