Nissan develops paint that keeps cars cool in summer heat (www.asahi.com)

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.

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

Which cameras?

[–] mbtrhcs@feddit.org 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I don't think they have interior cameras (although other manufacturers do), but the front and backup camera feeds provide plenty of information as well.

Then there's also this, if you need any more reason to be concerned.

Can just stop there. Unless people are banging on the bonnet, not sure what the point is.

If you read the linked article you will find that exterior cameras feeds are plenty invasive enough.

I don't disagree, but this is what was said:

Nissan also detects you having sex in the car

Unless there are cameras in the car then no.

There are enough sensors in cars to detect a rythmic motion. It doesn't need cameras for that.
