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.
I just love how humans will do anything other than actually focus on fixing the problem. Love it.
Uhh, what? The problem of things getting hot in the sun?
Lol
Blow up the sun. Easy.
I like blowing things up.
Ah yes. Why reduce the temperature of your car by 12 degrees when you can just alter the entire planet instead.
Lol
I would argue that the new paint could help alleviate the issue, since it would incentivise people to decrease use of the AC. My concern then would be how polluting is the production of the new paint compared to the current version.
My immediate thought was to wonder if this would help give kids who get left in a car by mistake have more of a fighting chance
