    Hotblack Desiato's car?

    Paint the white parts black and that'd make a nice little ride.

    WANT!

    WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT!

    And not just so I can reprogram the outside of the car to say "FUCK YOU" to BMW drivers.

    Of course, you'd have to rip out the crappy electric engine and replace it with something cooler.

    User configurable lights

    If I could configure the lights to spell out "You're driving like a complete bell-end. Yes you, the arsewit in the grey 3 Series" I'd be very interested.

    Vehicle 'skins' next?

    So, in the not too distant future, we'll be able to hit 'SkinMyRide.com' and download le pattern de jour - perhaps even have your AutoSkin change depending on the time of day and location?

    "No M'Lud, I was not driving a black BMW three series, mines the swirly green and yellow effect, well, it was at 9pm anyway..."

    Excellent Communication potential

    If just to be able to have the rear say 'FUCK YOU' when you have to pull in before an HGV to actually get off the slip road and the bastard turns his 50MW lamps on cos he has to lose 0.3MPH, resulting in an interior-mirror-shaped tan line across your nose.

    The Cost?

    I can't see this being in the "affordable" category...

    IT Angle

    By the time ...

    ... any of these "concept" cars make it to the showrooms we'll have burned up our last drop of oil. Oh, hang on, thats the idea isn't it? I mean, how can it take so long to actually make and ship these things? All the tech is well established. What we need is some Government and Manufacturer commitment and we're done.

    Instead all we get is this ridiculous posturing and not actual product.

    To all the nay-sayers of electric tech - welcome to history, this is the inevitability, its no use harping on about how it wont work. I do believe much the same was said by horsemen of old about the ICE. They got that a bit wrong too.

    I swear, apart from the OLED I'm not finding the IT angle
