Why are pop-up headlights banned in China?
1 Answers
Pop-up headlights are banned in China to protect pedestrian safety. Introduction to pop-up headlights: Automotive regulations in China are very strict, with laws and regulations restricting car designs. The playful pop-up headlight design has been prohibited due to structural issues with this design. The most classic example is the legendary AE86 that dominated Mount Akina with its pop-up headlights. Nowadays, vehicles with pop-up headlights cannot be driven on roads, as their production has been banned in China. Reasons for banning pop-up headlights in China: To protect pedestrian safety, as pop-up headlights tend to scatter parts upon impact, endangering pedestrians; When colliding with pedestrians, after being knocked down, pedestrians might hit the pop-up headlights again, causing secondary injuries; The structural design of pop-up headlights doesn't comply with aerodynamics, increasing wind resistance; Prolonged use of pop-up headlights can cause jamming, potentially leading to uneven deployment on both sides, creating driving hazards.
