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 a hood member to the vehicle and is operable to position hood member between a first position where hood member is not shielding at least a portion of a windshield of the vehicle, and a second position where 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. The vehicle speed sensor is operable to output a speed signal corresponding to the speed at which the vehicle is moving. The control unit operates the actuating mechanism to move the hood member from first position to second position upon receiving a collision signal and a vehicle speed above a threshold speed.
