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.

    You realize the emissions saved from reduced AC usage would also reduce the heat island effect, right? Sun visors like this are good for public spaces.

    Also, it’s more environmentally friendly to have people use visors than repaint their whole car.

        That’s okay, you seem pretty simpleminded so I don’t exactly expect you to understand the issue. I understand the anti-car sentiment but you’ve clearly gone off the deep end yet you still seem to think it matters to other people whether you care about issues like this.

          Projecting much? Love the insults btw. Really drives your point forward.

          You seem to care a lot. It’s also again projection and highly ironic since you were the one who apparently thought people care about your car’s interior temperature.

            I think you’re confusing my care for the issue as me caring for you. It’s too bad you can’t even be bothered to make some of your comment relevant to the discussion.

              My reply to your comment was more relevant than your comment about windshield screens. Whatever. I have better things to do than talk to people who do constant mental gymnastics to win stupid internet arguments. Have a nice day.
