# This Lexus Has a Biometric Paint Job

![](<https://futurism.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/lexususeslum.jpg>)

- The Lexus RC F coupe is uses electro-luminescent paint provided by Luminor
- A standard hearbeat monitor sends the driver's hearbeat to a control panel powered by an Arduino, which takes the signal and runs animations on the car's externally luminescent panels.
- Sure, it's a bit of a gimmick for now. But there's a lot of potential for a driver's biometric inputs to affect the way a car handles, drives, or looks.
