Black lycra matters, too! "Car crash by colour" https://www.moneysupermarket.com/car-insurance/articles/car-crash-by-colour/ "One study concluded that black cars are 47% more likely to be involved in road accidents than vehicles of other colours. (...) During daylight hours, black cars were up to 12% more likely be involved in crashes than white vehicles." For the ultimate in invisibility, you need Vantablack, https://www.surreynanosystems.com/super-black-coatings/vantablack-s-vis which offers a non-reflective black that can also become invisible in the infrared spectrum: https://www.surreynanosystems.com/super-black-coatings/vantablack-s-ir Not only will you be invisible to ordinary drivers, but you also will not appear on the LADAR of driverless cars. -- Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |
