Magna’s SmartAccess Power Door System Hits the Market in Style
March 07 2023 - 7:00AM
Magna is revolutionizing vehicle access experiences with the launch
of its SmartAccessTM power door system on the opposing rear doors
of the Ferrari Purosangue. The complete system includes Magna’s
power door drive unit, SmartLatchTM with cinch actuator and
first-to-market integrated HaptronikTM software.
HaptronikTM is an innovative motion control software that
enhances the tactile feel of door movement, enabling effortless
opening and closing. It can detect when the vehicle is parked on a
curb or a hill and automatically adapts the gravitational force so
that opening and closing remains smooth in these conditions. It
also includes anti-slam and wind catch features.
“As an industry leader in advanced mechatronic systems, we are
excited to bring one of our most innovative solutions to market,”
said Jeff Hunt, President of Magna Mechatronics, Mirrors and
Lighting. “By combining our mechanical expertise with our advanced
software capabilities, we have been able to reimagine traditional
vehicle access and offer a unique and more luxurious experience
when entering the Purosangue.”
The system will launch with several other Asian and North
American automakers in 2023. SmartAccessTM can also offer a host of
additional consumer-related features including:
- Ability to customize the door feel to specific consumer
desires,
- Gesture control allowing the wave of a hand to open or close
the side door,
- Non-contact obstacle detection where the side doors can sense a
post or adjacent vehicle and stop the door in a controlled manner,
and
- Keypad for seamless keyless entry.
