A small panel of eInk (electronic ink, see link) built into the rear end of every vehicle could be used to display witty messages, or anti-road rage messages to the vehicles behind you.
This way your bumper stickers will never be dated, faded reminders of yesteryear and you can collect advertising
revenue if you wish to rent the space out to other parties.

Isn't this just like all those 'LED message panel' ideas, and the 'Personalised bumper sticker'? Or is that the point? |

Yep, all rolled into one, and provided as original equipment on every car. It's the unnatural outgrowth(what at 1/2B isn't?) of all of those things in one convenient location, shoppers. |

This is not some crappy home handyman job you pick up from Bob's SupaCheep Country 4x4 Bunker, this is the aerodynamically perfect, 7 cupholder version, which no car should be without. You can even write poetry for the benefit of the occupants of vehicles behind you in a traffic jam! |

Thanks degroof, just what we need to bring this to fruition. |

*Now* it's worth a pastry, if only to encourage those eInk guys. |
|
| |
Also note that eInk is similar to the variable-albedo roof coating. |

The VAR coating could be interesting if you had another car hot on your tail... |
