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.

Nissan invents white paint

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 0 points 2 months ago (2 children)

If it's like this stuff then it's more than just white paint.

If it's like that stuff then they didn't invent it.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 0 points 2 months ago

Well, they would have invented the specific formulation they're using. I'm sure it's not exactly like this but I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same concept with microbeads.

No one invents anything totally new. It's all adding on to what others have made in the past. Nothing has ever been created from scratch.

I was hoping I'd see nighthawkinlight in the wild here.

so, what temperature is inside the car? scientist have found out its actually the glaspanes that makes cars hot, just saying.

I just love how humans will do anything other than actually focus on fixing the problem. Love it.

So... You want to turn off the sun? This has nothing to do with climate change, the sun hasn't changed intensity in a few 100 years, so sun makes things warm

Like reducing the number of cars.

Ohh too much traffic! 🤔 Let's expand the freeways until you need a freeway to cross other freeways.

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

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 0 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Uhh, what? The problem of things getting hot in the sun?

12 degrees? I guess that's cool but still well within egg frying temperature around here.

[–] DudeImMacGyver@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Forget Nissan but I'll take the paint.

There's a very long list of two door sports cars I'd buy instead of one of those bloated excuses.

Anything to not add a cooling system to the ev batteries.

As someone living in Wisconsin with salty road winters, I'll say that Nissan's reputation is mostly trash here based specifically on their paint
