Such patterns succeed in concealing the body styling of the car, as our eyes will naturally follow the patterns of the wraps instead of what lies beneath them. Therefore, telling details such as the grilles, the headlamps, and the lines escape our attention.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s more difficult to confuse a camera lens than a human eye. According to\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.autonews.com\/article\/20150512\/BLOG06\/150519967\/the-secrets-behind-all-that-camouflage\">spy photographers<\/a>, the commonly used black and white swirled designs don\u2019t affect the camera\u2019s focus thanks to the high contrast of the colors.<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, car companies have shown a lot of creativity in better disguising their vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/thenewswheel.com\/video-camouflaged-2016-prius-spotted-in-san-francisco\/\">a Toyota Prius<\/a> was spotted back in 2016 camouflaged with a polyester black cover which absorbs the
