Victor told me that there are two reasons for this. First is that it if the car has trouble on the road, the tail lights/reflectors are not visible for upcoming traffic and, Second is that if the clam-shell is not closed correctly, it can function like a suicide door and catch the wind while driving (which apparently has happened to the prototype, with disastrous results).
