Can Pop-up Headlight Cars Be Driven on the Road?

[CalebDella]

Pop-up headlight cars cannot be driven on the road. Additional information is as follows: Introduction: "Pop-up headlights" refer to a hidden headlight design where the headlights lie flush with the car's front hood when turned off and flip up when activated. Reason for prohibition: The square and angular design of pop-up headlights can cause secondary injuries to pedestrians in the event of a collision. The aerodynamic drag issue with pop-up headlights arises because when they are activated, the protruding headlights disrupt the car's streamlined body. When the headlights are off, the drag coefficient can be as low as 0.01. However, once the headlights are activated, the drag increases, and prolonged use can also cause damage to the pop-up mechanism.
