Image data from a first camera mounted on a vehicle is received, the vehicle including a first element configured to open into a first space external to the vehicle, and the image data indicative of motion of a first object during a first time period, the first object located outside of the first space. Whether the motion of the first object during the first time period indicates that the first object will interfere with operation of the first element during a second time period, after the first time period, is determined. In accordance with a determination that the motion of the first object indicates that the first object will interfere with the operation of the first element during the second time period, an action that avoids the interference is performed.
