Nissan Motor Co. said it has developed a new type of paint that significantly reduces the temperature inside vehicles parked in direct sunlight.

The surface of a car coated with the innovative material remains up to 12 degrees cooler than that of a vehicle with standard paint, tests showed.

The company said the coating material can help rein in the temperature rise not only on the car’s body but also in the vehicle when exposed to direct sunlight.

    So fucking glad I got my car before they added all this shit.

    It’s going to prevent me from getting any EVs that come out that I can afford too. I’m not signing a fucking privacy policy for a car.

      Yeah, EVs are the worst kind of the privacy-invasive cars I agree

      My car has an antenna for a network that no longer exists and I’m so happy about it
