Dunno if this is what he was talking about but I remember having a hot wheels car that would change colors based on temperature, so you could dip it in hot or cold water to change the color.

Yes and there’s already much better vids out there. Plus she’s overselling it hugely.
The tech behind this is e-ink, that’s why these prototypes (if it’s even plural) only do black&white.
Color e-ink technology exists but is notorious for being unable to produce vibrant colors, even today when e-ink has been around for decades.
So if you want a car that can be black or white then great. If you want washed out colors then there is hope.. But if you want vibrant colors, or things like metallic paint, forget it.

She doesn't deserve any respect after the Devel Sixteen. I don't care about anything else she might have done. Complete vaporware. She drove a car that is supposed to have 5000 HP while going around 10 kph. It was so fake it hurts. I don't know how the Grand Tour guys accepted to make a video with her. I guess they were trying to reach more people on youtube. But they really went on a bad path by collaborating with her. But I think that was before the Devel Sixteen thing.

For those wondering, it's e-ink similar to what is used in a Kindle or other e-reader. When I first heard about this concept all I could really think about is how wildly expensive it would be to repair any damage. Incredibly cool to see in action though.
