BMW unveiled Wednesday in Las Vegas a prototype car that can change color and features digital technologies inside the cabin, such as the projection of information across the width of the windshield.

Named BMW i Vision Dee, the car was presented at the big annual meeting of consumer electronics in Las Vegas during a mini-show where appeared Arnold Schwarzenegger.

At the same show last year, the manufacturer had already unveiled a car that could change colors, but only gray.

The body of the new prototype can display a whole range of colors, uniformly, in stripes or in checkerboards.

BMW i Vision Dee remains a concept but is supposed to inspire the manufacturer’s new vehicles.

The ability to project information such as speed and direction across the entire width of the windshield, for example, will be available from 2025.

BMW also mentioned the possibility of projecting images in augmented reality, or even transforming the entire windshield into a screen, technologies that are supposed to allow mixing “the real and virtual worlds”.

The idea is to create, thanks to a set of software, a “companion” offering a personalized experience, said the head of the group, Oliver Zipse: the name Dee is an acronym for “Digital emotional experience”.

The Terminator actor had fun with it, saying he was “a bit worried” about integrating so much technology into a car “since in most of my movies, the machine was the enemy ».

War in Ukraine: the International Criminal Court will not let go of Vladimir Putin, the international arrest warrant remains valid for life

The arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court in The Hague (ICC) for Russian President Vladimir Putin will remain valid even if Russia’s war against Ukraine ends.

“There is no statute of limitations on war crimes,” ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan told BBC Radio on Monday.

The latter highlights Vladimir Putin’s alleged responsibility for the war crimes committed in Ukraine since Russia invaded the country. The arrest warrants against the head of state and his commissioner for children’s rights, Maria Lvova-Belova, will therefore remain hanging over their heads for the rest of their lives, he said. “Unless they appear before the independent judges of the court and the judges decide to drop the charges. »

The arrest warrants are essentially symbolic. A trial seems to be out of the question for the time being.

The British lawyer and chief prosecutor in the trial of former Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic in The Hague told Sky News reporters that because of the arrest warrant for him, Vladimir Putin has become a wanted criminal. “This label will stick to him for the rest of his life, unless he is tried and acquitted or, which is almost unthinkable, the ICC withdraws the arrest warrant,” he explained. “The arrest warrant is a very, very important and encouraging step,” he said.
