        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

        I’ve seen cars with self-closing doors though. Also I’m not sure where the safety consideration would come in since we have self closing building doors right now and no one seems to get cut in half by those.

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

        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.
