Are Cars Lightning-Proof?

[DelNolan]

Cars are not equipped with lightning rods and do not provide lightning protection. Here is some information about lightning protection: 1. Lightning protection measures: Vehicles generally do not have specially installed lightning rods, but the metal body of the car acts as a shield. Even if lightning strikes the car, it will not harm the occupants. The interior of the car is an ideal place to avoid lightning strikes. The tires of the car have excellent insulating properties. If lightning strikes the car and charges it, the current cannot form a circuit to the ground, thus causing no harm. 2. Conductive materials: The tires may have water or other conductive substances on them, and some may be equipped with anti-static grounding wires. When lightning strikes the car and charges it, the current tends to flow along the metal surface, posing no danger to people. The current is conducted through the car's surface to the tires, which may have water or other conductive substances.
