Default Hands free door popper with push button start!

Im going to be working on a kit for my car hopefully over this winter. I don't want to put holes in my doors for handles so i decided on door poppers.

Then once i installed my steering column and found no room for the ignition mechanism once the key is turned i decided to go pushbutton, based off of rfid like all the new cars have.

Then i decided why not control the doors with the rfid and simply use a wave of the hand over where the door handle should be to open it!


So i'll be designing a kit that will use a key i can keep in my pocket, it will enable the doors to open with the wave of a hand, and enable a pushbutton start/stop.

Needless to say i haven't seen a kit like this anywhere before. What do you guys think?

Im glad you guys like the idea, i thought i was overthinking it wayyy to much. I plan on completing the kit this winter, but im going to start working on the sensor tomorrow at work.



I didn't plan on making a thread to update as i go along, but what the hell.
