I know I'm old school and all that, but why do people want to pay for automatically closing doors of any kind? Automatic opening of cargo spaces I get, if you have your bags full of hands or whatever, but once you put the stuff in there... Seem like such an incredibly unnecessary and costly feature, that also have a high chance of failing in the future. I don't get it.

Because taking stuff out is like putting stuff in, only in the reverse order.

Except when the stuff is in, you have free hands to close doors and hatches

I think we're on two different wavelengths.

Put stuff in: Stand next to closed car with no free hands, could use automatically opening doors.

Take stuff out: Open car. Pick up stuff out of the car. Stand next to open car with no free hands, could use automatically closing doors.

In the case where you took everything out though, there's no bags for it to get stuck on. There's no need for it to slam itself
