Cars do not have lightning protection functionality. Here are the specific details: 1. Reason: Since a car's outer shell is a large metal enclosure, it forms an equipotential body, so people inside the car do not need to worry about being struck by lightning. However, the vehicle itself is a conductor that can easily attract lightning. If lightning strikes the vehicle, walking near it may expose you to ground-transmitted current. 2. Precautions: (1) During thunderstorms, try to avoid using mobile phones because the signal magnetic field of the phone changes during a thunderstorm. The powerful discharge of lightning to the ground generates a strong electromagnetic field in the surrounding area. Therefore, it is recommended that car owners retract external antennas and temporarily turn off car audio systems during thunderstorms to prevent lightning strikes from introducing current into the car and causing electrical circuit failures. (2) When a car is struck by lightning, the instantaneous high voltage may also damage the electronic components inside the vehicle, causing electronic devices to malfunction. Additionally, never rashly exit the car to inspect the vehicle's condition, as the outside is far more dangerous than the inside.
