So, I just saw this. Did anyone see this at CES?

What do people think? It is only white/greys/black for the moment but eventually it will have colors. No estimate on costs.

Blow by a cop, see him pulling out, take a turn, change the color and turn around

I am really curious to see how the color is controlled (and the electronics required to maintain).

"So when you got rear ended we had to replace the bumper, that's $3000 and a $5000 calibration fee"
