Auto Rear Hatch Door

Has Anyone seen actuator's or small electric motors added to the rear hatch door to Auto Open, sorta like new Dodge minivans?

Just a random thought..

could be pretty simple speaking the tailgate is already electronic. just have to find a way to trigger the membrane switch. no need for motors, they r already in there

I believe he's actually interested in the automatic opening or "lifting" of the tailgate to the fully open position. Also, I would assume, the power closing of the gate.
