A vehicular apron system is provided. The vehicular apron is dimensioned and adapted to extend the length of a door of the vehicle at its outward-most portion, thereby absorbing damage that would otherwise be imparted into the underlying door. The bellow elements have accordion sidewalls which facilitates their movement between a uninflated condition and an expanded condition for absorbing impact. The LIDAR situational awareness functionality is operatively associated with the inflation valves fluidly coupled to the bellow elements, wherein these bellow elements are automatically urged to an expanded condition in response to an object within the vicinity of the vehicle. The LIDAR situational awareness functionality provides video output to be used as evidence in cases of theft or contested accidents.
