Thomas Pinel’s EKON car is a futuristic car that is capable of displaying messages through tinted OLED screens on the front and rear to other drivers and pedestrians to prevent accidents. EKON is designed with electro chromatic glass, which can be changed from tinted to clear with the help of a remote or touching the fingerprint reader placed above the door.
Every EKON car has an interior made from organic materials—seat covers are made of green fabric and the steering wheel is made of aluminum.
