Lets be honest here, for every single person in Britain who doesn't work in the city, their immediate reaction on seeing that story is the following..
"Ha ha!"

There have been several cases in the US of various cars having parts melted by their surroundings. http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2013/06/21/consumerwatch-prius-part-susceptible-to-melting/

Surely the manufacturer should bear some liability. The phrase not fit for purpose springs to mind

The feckers designed a concave mirror. Obviously basic physics didn't come into it.

Of the car, no. Of the building, yes. It's negligence to build a giant focussing mirror into a building, even with British summers. If a child/dog was in the car I'd hate to think of the temperatures it would get to in the car at any time of year _________________TwitterCharlie Brooker: Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.

If there's any wood in the building by the parking spaces there could easily have been a fire.

Breakkie Anyone?I'd like to say that it's been chaos in my office yesterday as owners from other high rise in London were calling in to know if their buildings would have the same problems. Not a good day to be a Building consultant. (or Architect Viñoly)

What they should do is put covered parking bays with solar panels on them. If they focus the sun the panels could generate a fair amount of energy. _________________Do concentrate, 007...

They should have built it with the concave wall on the North side, then it wouldn't have been a problem.
