🔊BMW unveils world's first color-changing car at CES BMW在美國消費電子展上推出全球首款變色車 [可開啟中文字幕] BMW has unveiled the world's first color-changing car at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. BMW在拉斯維加斯的消費電子展(CES)上推出了世界上第一款變色汽車。 The concept car, called the BMW iX Flow, uses E Ink technology to produce fluid color changes that completely transform the car's exterior into a variety of colors and patterns. 這款名為 BMW iX Flow 的概念車運用 E Ink 技術產生流體顏色變化，將汽車外觀完全轉變為隨意的顏色和圖案。 "This is the world's first real color-changing car. There's been fakes out there, there's been projection mapping, there's been light, but this is really energy-efficient color change using the technology E Ink," explained Stella Clarke, a BMW research engineer. BMW研發工程師 克拉克：「這是世界上第一輛真正的變色汽車。之前的變色都不是真的， 它們只是投影映射，有的還利用光線，但這次是使用 E Ink真正的高效能顏色變化技術。」 When stimulated by electrical signals, the E Ink technology brings different color pigments to the surface, causing the car's body skin to take on the desired coloration. 當受到電子信號的刺激時，E Ink 技術會將不同的顏色粒子帶到表面，使車身呈現出想要的顏色。 "And we did it using E Ink. It's the material we know from e-readers, and our challenge was to get this on a 3D object like our cars," she added. BMW研發工程師 克拉克：「我們是用E Ink辦到的。我們從電子閱讀器知道這種材料，挑戰是把如何把它放在像我們汽車這樣的3D物體上。」 Aside from the jaw-dropping color and pattern changes, the technology can also help with sustainability and climate control within the vehicle. 除了顏色和圖案變化外，這項技術還有助於顏色圖案的維持以及車輛內的溫度調節。 "On a hot, sunny day like today, you could switch the color white to reflect sunlight. On a cold day, you could switch it black to absorb the heat. And the awesome thing about this technology, it's bi-stable, so if you switch it white, take the power off, it stays white, so it doesn't need any energy to hold any given color," she explained. BMW研發工程師 克拉克：「在像今天這樣炎熱、陽光明媚的日子裡，可以切換為白色來反射陽光。在寒冷的日子裡，可以切換為黑色來吸收熱量。這項技術的絕妙之處在於，它是雙穩態的，如果你把它切換成白色，關掉電源後，它就會保持白色。它不需要任何能量來維持任何設定的顏色。」 The E Ink technology is also energy efficient, with absolutely no energy needed to maintain the exterior color the driver selects, according to BMW. 據BMW表示，E Ink 技術具有節能特性，完全不需要額外能量來保持駕駛人所選擇的車身顏色。 The technology is still in its early days and the model displayed at CES had only the option of turning gray and white. In the future, this will be expanded to cover a wide color spectrum. 目前這項技術仍處於初步研發階段，在消費電子展上展示的車型只有灰色和白色的選項。未來將擴大到更廣泛的色譜。 fluid (adj.) 流體的；流暢的 exterior (n.)
