FLUSH DOOR HANDLE ASSEMBLY
A door handle assembly is provided that includes a cover element and a grip element. The cover element is movable between a flush position where the cover element fills an opening and is flush with a visible face of an outer door panel, and a retracted position where the cover element is displaced inwardly from the opening and the grip element and outer door panel defines a finger access space to receive fingers of a user. The assembly further includes an actuator to move the cover between the flush and retracted position, a hand sensor attached to the grip element to detect the user's fingers, a detection device to cooperate with a complementary transmitting device to identify the user, a latching mechanism unlatch the vehicle door when fingers are detected by the hand sensor, and a control unit to control the hand sensor, detection device, latching mechanism, and actuator.
