It’s not the worst idea. In the modern world, people can paint or wrap their car afterward if it’s important to them. Also, if all cars came out white by default, it might slightly increase the albedo of parking lots.

How much heat/light is reflected by a surface. Asphalt absorbs a fuckton of heat (thus a low albedo) and releases it slowly at night which is why cities are so much warmer than less paved areas.
