Already, we drive slower than most everyone, so the last thing we need is to also not be seen.
Just look at the belly tank on that F/A18 . It is unrecognizable even sitting still.
I agree though that a car would look 'cool' in digital camo, but I want to be seen :-)

If you want visibility, then chose one of the color schemes used by the fighter aircraft in Von Richthofen's Circus (Jagdgeschwader Nr.I) in WWI. They were designed to make an individual pilot's plane instantly recognizable by the rest of the group, useful when coordinating aerial maneuvers in the days before on-board radio. The infamous all-red "red baron" triplane was one of milder color schemes used by that group.
