no. in california you have to have a few things. blinkers, stop lights, head lights, windshield, and i think mirrors. if the car came with them, then they are required.
now, cars like the arial atom that dont have them, its because they werent built like that
i could be wrong though

You should check with highway patrol in your state, or just ask them at an inspection station.
---------
On a side note, I did ask a cop in Lenexa, KS when I was pulled over for a cracked windsheild.
When I asked why, he says it looked like it was impairing my vision.
I told him if I could get pulled over for it being broken, I may be inclined to just remove it.
He said that as long as I had eye protection I should be fine.
Keep in mind, this is Kansas, and our authorities don't seem overly concerned about safety
But watch the **** out if your tags are expired

The internet can be a wonderful tool:
California Department of Motor Vehicles, Vehicle COde - Division 12, Chapter 4:
Windshields: Exception
26700<!-- #EndEditable -->. <!-- #BeginEditable "section_content" -->(a) Except as provided in subdivision (b), a passenger vehicle, other than a motorcycle, and every bus, motortruck or truck tractor, and every firetruck, fire engine or other fire apparatus, whether publicly or privately owned, shall be equipped with an adequate windshield.
<!-- #EndEditable -->
<!-- #BeginEditable "addl_section_content" -->(b) Subdivision (a) does not apply to any vehicle issued identification plates pursuant to Section 5004 which was not required to be equipped with a windshield at the time it was first sold or registered under the laws of this state, another state, or foreign jurisdiction.
<!-- #EndEditable -->
<!-- #BeginEditable "section_change_history" -->Amended Ch. 222, Stats. 1983. Effective January 1, 1984.
So, not only is it against common sense, it's against the law!

I'm fairly sure that wouldn't fly. Not very safe, especially on the open road. Even if it were legal, you'd get pulled over pretty much all the time, because there is no way someone would believe it was legal. I don't know how Atom drivers do it, but most of them keep those on the track a majority of the time anyways.

i know how to get past the law. what about a chopped windshield. the winshield only has to be the hight of a dollor tall. with a lowrider seat that would be swell. and i could wear my helmet

So you want to violate the California vehicle code in an extremely obvious way, AND make it so there's no hope of restoring the car back to normal when you are cited for it? The first time you're pulled over will be the last time you drive the car on the street. It's just not worth it.
