It would help but the glass windows (greenhouse effect) are probably a bigger factor.

Good window tints (with IR and UV blockers) help big time keeping the car cool.

We need integrated pop up solar car awnings that provide energy and shade. They actually make funky pop up car awnings, but a sleeker, solar option would probably take hold in hotter climates.
