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.

    Also great for city climate since heated up cars are acting like a heat battery making it significantly slower for a city to cool down once the sun goes away

    Ideally there would be no openly parked cars but I guess this is the next best thing
