Abstract
A vehicle including a vehicle door, a detection unit and a vehicle processor is disclosed. The detection unit may be configured to detect an object presence in proximity to the vehicle and object information associated with an object. The vehicle processor may be configured to obtain the object information from the detection unit when the detection unit detects the object presence, and determine that the object may be approaching towards the vehicle door based on the object information. The vehicle processor may further output the object information to a user device responsive to determining that the object may be approaching towards the vehicle door.
