1. A handleless door entry system for a vehicle, comprising:
an occupant detection component including a first detection component and a second detection component, wherein the first detection component is configured to detect a device within a predetermined distance of the handleless door entry system, and wherein the second detection component is configured to detect an intent of an object or individual approaching the handleless door entry system, wherein the handleless door entry system includes:
an electromechanical latch operatively coupled to a door latch controller;
a door presenter;
a sensor operably coupled to the electromechanical latch; and
wherein the door presenter is actuated upon determination of a predetermined intent of the object or individual approaching the handleless door entry system by the second detection component and the handleless door entry system completes a release of a vehicle door by the electromechanical latch only after actuation of the sensor after the predetermined intent of the object or individual approaching the handleless door entry system is detected by the second detection component.
