CarPro Immortal - Self Healing Clear Coat
This product was announced at SEMA in 2014 and has been going through a lot of testing and development since then. It appears they are nearing the launch of Immortal as the website now indicates a launch in 2015 and commercial packaging has now been released.
If you aren't aware of what Immortal is, it is a self-healing clear coat that is being developed by CarPro. This clear coat is applied via HVLP sprayer and then cured in an oven just like a traditional clear coat paint, however once cured, this product will be self healing such that scratches, swirls, etc are non-existent. More info on their website... www.carpro-immortal.com
This video shows a lengthy demonstration of the self healing properties at room temperature.
At this point there is no information regarding pricing, however this will only be available to professionals, and given the extensive application process, I would think it is a safe bet to assume the cost will be very high compared to clear bra or paint coatings. This is essentially like applying 1-2 coats of paint to the car.
Will provide more info as I learn more! Exciting technology that could make owning a jet black vehicle so much more enjoyable!

A full XPEL wrap can be very expensive... so if you're comparing the two, it should be in the same ballpark.

I'm hopeful that you're right and this type of technology does make its way to OEMs in the near future.

Potentially. I am not sure how impact resistant Immortal will be though... clear bra is clear film, not paint, so I imagine the properties are quite different. If immortal was able to withstand impacts without chipping, that would be almost too good to be true.

Yeah now if we all could get outfits that have parking lots with 7 foot wide parking spaces for a 6 plus foot wide cars to 1 either put up walls between them or 2 widen them far enough so the idiot in the car next to you can open the door and it not hit your car. $3000 self healing clear will not stop a dent or missing paint or clear, maybe heal some small scratches etc.
