Motor vehicle gesture access system including powered door speed control

A gesture access system for a motor vehicle having a powered door, the gesture access system comprising:

• at least one wireless signal transceiver configured to be mounted to the motor vehicle, the at least one wireless signal transceiver responsive to activation signals to emit wireless signals outwardly away from the motor vehicle, and to produce wireless detection signals, the wireless detection signals including at least one reflected wireless signal if at least one of the emitted wireless signals is reflected by an object toward and detected by the at least one wireless signal transceiver,
• a motor responsive to motor control signals to open the power door,
• at least one indicator configured to be mounted to the motor vehicle,
• at least one processor, and
• at least one memory having instructions stored therein executable by the at least one processor to cause the at least one processor to (i) monitor a mobile device status signal produced by a control computer of the motor vehicle or by the at least one processor based on a determination by the control computer or the at least one processor of a proximity, relative to the motor vehicle, of a mobile communication device known to the control computer or to the at least one processor, (ii) in response to the mobile device status signal corresponding to the known mobile communication device being within a perimeter defined about the motor vehicle, process the activation and wireless detection signals to determine whether an object is exhibiting a predefined gesture, (iii) upon determining that the object is exhibiting the predefined gesture, control an unlocking actuator to unlock the powered door, (iv) following unlocking of the powered door, control the motor control signals to open the powered door and activate the at least one indicator according to a door opening indication scheme.
