Expect to see something like the stepless door brake/soft close available on BMW 7-series. Beats me why not on front doors. There are no buttons to operate, the system is smart enough to detect surface incline and stop the door, or to pull it in if you close it most of the way.

AUTO OPENING DOORS ARE STANDARD ON JAPANESE TAXIS
Perhaps the "addition" of automatic opening rear doors on the E Class is simply an accomodation to the Japanese Taxi industry which for years has had same as standard equipment on almost all taxis in that country. It may well not be an option that is available across the board, much less in the USA.
