Abstract: A method for opening and closing a door of a vehicle may include receiving a signal indicative of either opening or closing the vehicle door, determining whether the opening or closing will be performed by an operator or via a powered actuator based on the signal, and generating, if the opening or closing will be performed by the powered actuator, a first control signal indicative of a first position to which the door is to be moved. The method may further include controlling the powered actuator to cause the door to move from an original position to the first position.

Abstract: A system and method for adjusting drive mode of a vehicle are disclosed. According to certain embodiments, the system may include a processor configured to: receive sensor data generated by one or more sensors in communication with the processor; determine motion of the vehicle based on the sensor data; determine, based on the motion of the vehicle, characteristics of the surface or driving behavior of a user of the vehicle; and determine a drive mode of the vehicle based on the determined characteristics of the surface or driving behavior of the user. The system may further include one or more actuators configured to implement the drive mode.
