Having computer logic to decide if you are allowed to open your door is how you get people drowning in their cars or getting heat stroke because they started a firmware update.

That said, this is very much the kind of problem that can be solved… basically the same way cabinets solve it. A few springs to increase the resistance so that you can’t slam the door open. But that probably has issues with needing to close a door REALLY fast for Reasons.

Personally? I don’t really care. Cars are going to get dings and those trucknuts are too weak to do any real damage. But the audacity I have seen from some drivers who slam their door open while on the phone and take ten minutes to put four bags in the passenger foot area. All while the driver of the car they just damaged is standing there and staring at them.
