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.

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