Nissan's set out to make life difficult for the police, developing auto paint that changes color when tickled with an electrical current.
The James Bond-like innovation uses polymers limned with dyed iron oxides, which become visible when hit up with a carefully-measured charge. Turned off, the car reverts to being plain white.
Nissan hopes to have something ready to sell by 2010. Wings, rocket engines and underwater turbines are still in the design phase, but cheaper Nissans already have a system that spews oil and smoke out from behind the vehicle to deter pursuers: the ignition.
