1. A vehicle comprising:
a liftgate;
a sensor;
a processor; and
memory storing computer-executable instructions, that when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
determine a first value for a baseline signal for activation of the liftgate;
receive a first signal from the sensor;
determine that the first signal is greater than the first value by a first threshold amount;
activate, by the vehicle and based on determining that the first signal is greater than the first value by the first threshold amount, the liftgate of the vehicle;
adjust, subsequent to activating the liftgate and prior to the liftgate closing, the baseline signal for activation of the liftgate from the first value to a second value, wherein the second value is greater than the first value;
receive a second signal from the sensor that is greater than the first value and less than the second value;
prevent, based on the second signal being greater than the first value, the liftgate from closing;
receive a third signal from the sensor that is less than or equal to the first value;
adjust, based on the third signal being less than or equal to the first value, the baseline signal for activation of the liftgate back from the second value to the first value;
receive a fourth signal from the sensor that is greater than the first value by the first threshold amount; and
close, by the vehicle and based on the determination that fourth signal is greater than the first value by the first threshold amount, the liftgate.
