side angles

I'm given to understand that road vehicles are designed for zero crosswind condition.Their drag coefficients may be crosswind averaged up to some degree of yaw.Class-8 truck Cds are required to include crosswind conditions I believe.
I don't know of any vehicle which was ever designed for a particular yaw angle.
It's understood that on most days a motorist will experience crosswind.
