1. A system for surround view egress assistance comprising:
a vehicle comprising a sensor and a controller; and
an inertial measurement unit integrated into the vehicle;
wherein the sensor is configured to detect an obstacle; and
the controller, based on input from the sensor, is configured to predict, based on a geometrical analysis of a vehicle door, a plurality of swing paths of the vehicle door to determine, based on the geometrical analysis of the vehicle door and the plurality of swing paths, one or more potential collision zones between the obstacle and the vehicle door, and wherein, based on data from the inertial measurement unit, the controller is further configured to estimate a severity of an impact of the vehicle door with the obstacle; and
wherein the controller is further configured to determine a bank angle of inclination of the vehicle and based on at least the bank angle, further predict the one or more potential collision zones.
