Possibly used to simplify AI coding or to make the setting seem more appropriate for its time period (for example, any modern period department stores likely have automatic front doors, scifi/future settings likely have all or most doors as automatic, or a magical realm with enchanted automated doors).
Does not include doors that only automatically close (this is often an oversight or a quirk in the game engine).
