Claim 8:
9. A motor vehicle component for controlling a movement of a controllable door of a motor vehicle, comprising:
a controllable motion influencing device configured to at least partially control and influence a movement of a door wing of the door between a closed position and an open position;
a controller connected to said motion influencing device;
a sensor arrangement connected to said controller, said sensor arrangement including one distance sensor in the movable door wing;
said sensor arrangement having an angle sensor being configured to determine a door angle of the door wing;
said controller being configured to move the door wing back and forth about a measuring angle by a driving device of said motion influencing device
said controller being configured to capture distance data by way of said one distance sensor during a movement of the door wing in different angular positions, as detected by the angle sensor, to determine a position of at least one object in a surrounding area of the door wing from the captured distance data via a triangulation process;
wherein the driving device is controlled by the controller, in a back and forth motion, to determine the position of the at least one object according to the triangulation from different angular positions of the door wing;

said controller being configured to control the movement of the door wing based on the results of the triangulation.
