Like the hide of a golf ball but a bit more random ? Do cars go fast enough for the dimpling to improve the aerodynamics ? Maybe on airplanes ? |

This would be useful if you lived in an area where
extremely heavy hail was common. |

Wait; if I understand the wiki article correctly, the real texture of the car body would be the same as for any other car, not dimpled - right? |

If this were done correctly, your car could be become a 23-octave steel drum. |

nanoscopically maybe crystalline voronoi but this idea tries
to make those crystalline lines, scaled up, places to absorb
energy and move it around like a good looking musical
instrument. |
