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.

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

Got in my car after work yesterday and it was 102F inside. It was awful

Lucky! I've seen 150 here in Louisiana.

And even higher when I lived in the Mojave desert. Like, if you didn't leave a window cracked there's a real chance your windshield cracks.

Must have had you wishing for a nuclear winter.
