A method performed by an apparatus of a vehicle, the method comprising:
- determining, via a first sensor of the vehicle, that a door on a first side of the vehicle is ajar, wherein the first side of the vehicle is associated with a passenger of the vehicle;
- based on determining that the door of the vehicle being ajar, determining, via a second sensor of the vehicle, whether an object is approaching from a rear side of the vehicle on the first side of the vehicle;
- and
- controlling, based on determining that the object is approaching, a movement of the door to avoid a collision between the object and the door.

- a first sensor provided on a door on a first side, associated with a passenger, of the vehicle, wherein the first sensor is configured to detect an object approaching from a rear of the vehicle on the first side;
- a second sensor configured to determine an opening angle of the door;
- and
- a control circuit configured to control, based on measurements of the first sensor and the second sensor, a movement of the door.
A method performed by an apparatus of a vehicle, the method comprising:
- determining, via a first sensor of the vehicle, that a door on a first side of the vehicle is ajar;
- based on determining that the door of the vehicle being ajar, determining, via a second sensor of the vehicle, whether an object is projected to pass alongside the vehicle within a threshold distance from the vehicle;
- and
