An automated vehicle door control system is described that facilitates preventing contact between the door and an external object upon door opening. For example, a vehicle can comprise a memory that stores computer executable components, and a processor that executes the computer executable components stored in the memory, wherein the computer executable components comprise a clearance assessment component and an enclosure control component. The clearance assessment component determines, based on sensory data captured of an external environment of an enclosure of the vehicle via one or more sensors integrated on or within the vehicle, whether an object external to the enclosure is positioned within a clearance region of the enclosure prior to opening of the enclosure. The enclosure control component controls a mechanical movement mechanism of the enclosure to control the opening of the enclosure based on whether the object is positioned within the clearance region.
A vehicle, comprising:
A method for controlling an enclosure of a vehicle, comprising:
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor of an onboard system of a vehicle, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
