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 also detects you having sex in the car and phones the info home.

Their privacy policy includes a provision that they can use the cameras and GPS to infer things such as sexual orientation, so yeah.

While this fucked up, documenting sexual orientation is not exactly recording sex. Someone could simply use GPS and see that the only place in the area that's open is the gay bar and infer from that, or even lip reading.
