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.

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

    Okay, I found one.

    https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/privacynotincluded/articles/its-official-cars-are-the-worst-product-category-we-have-ever-reviewed-for-privacy/

    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.

    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?

    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.

    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.
