Big trucks and SUVs, especially those with flat front ends, aren’t just more intimidating to look at, they are genuinely deadlier for pedestrians, according to new research from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
And I can’t have my goddamn pop up headlights while Derek is out here in a truck that can’t see the ground 20 feet in front of it splattering children smh
you can, they’re legal in the US. They became unnecessary after US relaxed its regulations on headlights. US had a ban on aerodynamic headlights, so that’s why we had pop-ups.
FWIU pop-ups weren’t regulated out of existence, at least in America. They just fell out of fashion and any proposal to re-implement them gets nixed at the corporate level on grounds of cost and complexity.

Yes, because most of the iconic vehicles with pop ups are American made.
Definitely.

I’m sure MPG estimates would be a shit show as well.
Why? Measure it when they are closed. That is like, 90% of driving.
It’s a major impact and there are billions of miles traveled at night
I had pop up headlights in my firebird and I do not miss them at all
They’re something weirdly loved by people who never had to maintain them.
