1. A vehicle comprising:
- a sensor;
a door including;
a door stop assembly;
a handle; and
a haptic device; and
a processor to;
detect, via the sensor, a bicycle predicted to intersect a sweep range of the door;
determine a time-to-collision (TTC) of the bicycle; and
simultaneously stop the door from opening, via the door stop assembly, and vibrate the handle, via the haptic device, when the TTC is less than a first threshold.

Abstract
A vehicle includes: (a) a rotatable door including: a door stop assembly configured to arrest opening of the door; a rotatable handle; a haptic feedback assembly arranged to vibrate the handle; (b) processor(s) configured to simultaneously activate the door stop and haptic feedback assemblies. The haptic feedback assembly is disposed within the rotatable handle. The processor(s) are configured to: compute a time-to-collision, and run the haptic feedback assembly at a level based on the time-to-collision.

7. A method of comprising:
-
detecting, via a sensor, a bicycle predicted to intersect a sweep range of a door of a vehicle; determining, via a processor, a time-to-collision (TTC) between the bicycle and the door; and responsive to determining that the TTC is less than a first threshold, simultaneously activating a door stop assembly to stop the door from opening and causing a haptic device to vibrate a handle of the door. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
