how would this work? What car is all metal? or are they going to have to make bumpers,mirrors, and moldings all out of metal for this? ---

general motors rep mentioned something a few years ago about cars actually having the abilty to “morph” in sense. Different body panels could be changed and molded just from the introduction of a current. ---

There is already “smart” materials such as memory metal, and self healing paints out. They are cool. Passing a current threw things to change color, shape, density, is not new, but the ability to have non-conductive objects become conductive is where the problems occur. Smart concrete has added carbon to allow it to conduct small amounts of electricity, which can be calibrated to a sensor to allow one to see real time stress measures. Self healing paint is pretty kick ass…over a few days a scratch will heal itself!! ---
