A safe-exit system (10) for safety protection of a passenger (14) exiting an automated vehicle includes an observation-device (16), a lock-device (34), and a controller (36). The observation-device (16) detects a potential-threat (18) to a passenger (14) of a host-vehicle (12). The lock-device (34) is operable to lock a door (24) of the host-vehicle (12). The controller (36) is in communication with the observation-device (16) and the lock-device (34). The controller (36) is configured to determine a safety-index (38) based on the potential-threat (18), and operate the lock-device (34) to lock the door (24) when the safety-index (38) is less than a safety-threshold (40). Instead of the lock-device (34), the system (10) may include a notification-device (48) operable to convey a safety-alert to the person (26). The controller (36) is in communication with the observation-device (16) and the transmitter. In this system (10) the controller (36) is configured to determine a safety-index (38) based on the potential-threat (18), and operate the notification-device (48) to communicate the safety-alert to the person (26) when the safety-index (38) is less than a safety-threshold (40).
