      They already exist though? There are a bunch of EVs with servos in their doors. You can still overpower it just like you can an auto closing trunk

      edit: and they can also have proximity sensors, i know cadillac does that and their implementation is hyper vigilant, will stop the front door even if you’re next to the pillar

      Eh, we already have self closing trunks. As long as they are programmed correctly (not by Tesla) they sense resistance and stop.

        I don’t think programming is a problem, auto closing trunks and doors aren’t strong enough. You can test that on any self closing trunk door, it will sound and feel awful but they’re not strong at all.

      Nothing a slipping clutch won’t fix. There already are self-closing doors everywhere. Maybe not in cars but in all sorts of vehicles and everywhere in buildings.
