As a car enthusiast, personally I 1000% agree with the post. To me this is absolutely the right place for this post.
I want my pop up and down headlights back, and instead we have dumb SUVs with bumpers 6ft tall and zero appeal so that a soccer mom can plow over pedestrians with peak lethality
But the popups are “unsafe”. Because then you might hit a pedestrian. At night. When everything being open at night in the US died during covid. Makes sense 🙃
Was that the reason? I figured they faded away because they were an additional manufacturing and maintenance expense because of the moving parts.
The UNECE made it very difficult for pop-up headlights to comply with pedestrian safety regulations. But truth be told, pop-ups were also known to be unnecessarily complicated and prone to failure. The reason why they are no longer around is (as usual) a combination of multiple factors.

I want them back 🥹
Guess I had a different takeaway from the graphic. I kinda see that now.
Updoot.

Heck, they allowed for shallower hoods that seem to be safer for pedestrians when they are down!
