Abstract
In a control and management system for automobiles, a central processor in the system connects traditionally unrelated vehicle subsystems together to realize synergistic functions such as smart driving, automatic parking, etc. A master interface having a display is employed in the system to help a user control and manage the vehicle functions.

21. A method for use in a system in a vehicle, the system including at least one actuator for controllably moving at least one door of the vehicle, the method comprising:
-
providing a selectable option to close the door;
controlling the actuator to move the door towards a closed position in response to a selection of the option;
sensing any detectable object in a course of closing the door;
causing the actuator to stop movement of the door when a detectable object is sensed in the course of closing the door; and
providing, on a display, an indicator indicating a status of the door. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25)

31. A system for use in a vehicle, comprising:
-
at least one actuator for controllably moving at least one door of the vehicle, a selectable option being provided to close the door;
a device for controlling the actuator to move the door towards a closed position in response to a selection of the option;
a sensor for sensing any detectable object in a course of closing the door, the actuator being controlled to stop movement of the door when a detectable object is sensed in the course of closing the door; and
