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’m curious where that’s from? News, or you made up from privacy policy?

Mozilla's analysis if the policies, see my other comment in the thread.

Okay, I found one.

But I guess it’s to clarify what kind of data could possibly be collected and not that they actively collect and use them. I guess Ford can do that too, although they don’t specify in their privacy policy.

They’re not interested in your sexual orientation.

So fucking glad I got my car before they added all this shit.

It's going to prevent me from getting any EVs that come out that I can afford too. I'm not signing a fucking privacy policy for a car.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Yeah, EVs are the worst kind of the privacy-invasive cars I agree

My car has an antenna for a network that no longer exists and I'm so happy about it

But, like, why is that listed then? Why would Kia and Nissan say they collect information on your "sex life" and "sexual activity" respectively of they're not? What's to gain from keeping the window open if you're using it?
