Does the Audi have a lightning rod?

Does the Audi have a lightning rod?

Answer:

The location of a car that is vulnerable to lightning strikes is mostly in the roof of the car and in the metal ring of the wheel.
No, there is no special installation of lightning rod, but the shell is metal, because of shielding, even if the lightning hit the car, it will not hurt people, therefore, the car is an ideal place to avoid lightning strikes. During lightning, riding a bicycle, riding a motorcycle and driving an open convertible or tractor are easy to be struck by lightning.
In high speed, the lightning hit the car after the current to the ground will develop rapidly, while in humid conditions, lightning current will reach the axle position through the body surface, because the rubber wheel is a non conductor, so the lightning current will leave scars on the current metal part of the wheel, when the wheel when wet, lightning through the wheel ground; in the case of dry wheels or convertible, lightning will endanger personal safety.
