A moving car can indeed be struck by lightning during a thunderstorm, but occupants inside are generally safe due to the car's metallic structure acting as a Faraday cage. This design protects individuals from electric shocks by directing the lightning's energy around the exterior of the vehicle. Videos demonstrating this phenomenon show that even at high voltages, the car provides effective shielding. Therefore, being inside a car during a lightning storm is considered one of the safest places to be. Understanding this can help alleviate concerns about vehicle safety during thunderstorms.
