A vehicle hood apparatus includes a hood member, an actuating mechanism, a vehicle collision detecting sensor, vehicle speed sensor, and a control unit. The actuating mechanism couples said hood member to the vehicle and is operable to position said hood member between a first position where said hood member is not shielding at least a portion of a windshield of the vehicle, and a second position where said hood member is shielding at least a portion of the windshield of the vehicle. The vehicle collision detecting sensor is operable to output a collision signal corresponding to a detected collision with the vehicle. The vehicle spend sensor is operable to output a speed signal corresponding to the speed at which the vehicle is moving. The control unit operates said actuating mechanism to move said hood member from said first position to said second position upon receiving said collision signal indicating a collision with the vehicle, and receiving said speed signal corresponding to a vehicle speed above a threshold speed.
