If you leave it all the way open, the car just needs to drive a couple feet with decent acceleration to close it.

If you ALMOST close it, but not all the way, that would require some sort of intervention.

    Nah, you just speed up then slam on the brakes to open it, then you can close it as you said.

    The door can latch but not be completely closed.
