Veera Venkata Adabala helped bring accelerometer-driven power doors from research to reality at GM. Unlike mechanical checklinks, the system uses sensors and real-time orientation data to hold doors at any angle, adapt to slopes, and resist sudden swings. Now in Cadillac models, it improves safety, reduces wear, and enhances accessibility for everyday users.
