Nissan, lately reported to be perfecting magical color-changing paint, isn't.
Diligent newshound Darius of YoungGoGetter.com tried to find the ultimate source for the claim, reported here and elsewhere, and finds a trail of whispers.
It starts with Nissan being the kind of company that might be interested in such a technology. Then it becomes Nissan looking into the technology, moving swiftly to Nissan pioneering the technology, and ultimately to Nissan's bogus but juicy claim.
One of the most important elements of blogging hygiene is to drill back through sources to find the original. But "Via" chains can become broken, or even loop, and some folks don't like to do Via links at all.
Dead ends can be circumvented with Google or a phone call, but when you're saying nice things — and especially when talking about future technologies, which are all lies anyway — errors get made. Sorry for getting your hopes up about the color-changing cars of the future,
Gadget Labites!
