Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to the technical field of vehicles, and in particular, to a concealed roof light and a vehicle. BACKGROUND Cruise taxis are an integral part of a urban comprehensive traffic and transportation system, bear responsibility for supplementing capacity of urban public transportation, and provide personalized transportation services to the public. In recent years, with rapid development of the mobile internet industry, a new industry format of integrating traditional traffic and transportation and the internet has flourished, so that online taxi ride-hailing has become just an important way for users to travel. In order to actively and steadily promote reform of taxi industry, encourage innovation, promote transformation, and better meet the travel needs of the people, the Guiding Opinions of the General Office of the State Council on Deepening Reform and Promoting the Healthy Development of the Taxi Industry points out seizing benefit opportunity to implement the "Internet plus" action, adhering to a problem orientation, promoting transformation and upgrading of cruise taxis, standardizing operation of online ride-hailing taxis, and promoting integration and development of the two business formats. In existing technology, traditional cruise taxi drivers access online ride-hailing platforms by registering, thereby being able to accept online ride-hailing orders. But this approach only achieves accepting online ride-hailing orders by cruise taxis from the perspective of cruise taxi drivers, but does not consider appearances of vehicles. From the perspective of users, cruise taxis differ greatly from online ride-hailing taxis in terms of appearance and service standards provided. Therefore, this solution cannot truly achieve integration of cruise taxis and online reservation taxis. This results in inability of cruise taxis to integrate and develop with online ride-hailing taxis, leading to resource waste. In a reference document D1 (US2019/0329701A1), a vehicle light assembly is provided herein. The light assembly includes a housing operably coupled with a roof structure of a vehicle and movable between a first position and a second position. An arm is pivotably coupled to the roof structure on a first end portion and operably coupled with the housing on a second end portion. A bracket extends from the housing. The bracket is configured to retain a light bar. One or more light sources are disposed within the light bar. In a reference document D2 (US2019/0256697A1), a lighting subsystem and a light bar structure upon which the lighting subsystem is mounted. The lighting subsystem has a display that incorporates both warning signal lights and a programmable message display and is configured to enable the positioning of the lighting subsystem in multiple positions, including a low-profile position and a higher profile position. In one embodiment, the lighting subsystem utilizes an LED matrix display which includes interleaved message-display LEDs and warning-signal LEDs. The system may be positioned at an aerodynamic pursuit angle, and the LEDs may be oriented to maximize forward intensity of the emitted light in the pursuit position. In the low-profile position, the lighting subsystem may be retracted into a recessed compartment in the roof of an emergency vehicle. The message display may be configured to display preprogrammed messages or user-programmed messages, and may be operable by a user outside the vehicle using a remote control. In a reference document D3 (US2009/0061599A1), a light bar for a motor vehicle has a plurality of lights mounted to an elongated support member is rotatably connected to opposing end walls of a rectangular frame. An offset cam is connected to the support member and moved by an actuating mechanism between a first and second position which cause the support member and lights to rotate about an axis to corresponding first and second positions. When the support frame and lights are in a first position they are shielded by and substantially enclosed by the sides and ends of the rectangular frame, and when in a second position the lights extend above and generally parallel to the rectangular frame to shine above and forward of the rectangular frame. A power switch energizes the actuating mechanism to move the lights and support member between the first and second positions. In a reference document D6 (US4259660A), a retractable roof top sign for automotive vehicles including a generally rectangular low profile frame for attachment to the roof of the vehicle and a sign structure transversely spanning the frame in pivotal attachment at a lower end between a pair of longitudinal side rails of the frame, a small gear motor being provided in driving connection to the sign in a manner so as to permit the sign to be selectively moved between a retracted position within the confines of the frame and a vertically erect position by operation of appropriat
