A tailgate deactivation system prevents collisions between a multi-panel tailgate comprising a primary gate panel and an inner gate panel, and an object, such as a towing apparatus. The system detects the object in a hazard space that the inner gate panel would occupy when the primary gate panel is in an open position and the inner gate panel is unlatched. In response to detecting the object in the hazard space and the primary gate panel being unlatched, the inner gate panel is disabled from unlatching by interrupting power flow to an unlatching actuator of the inner gate panel. Several technologies are described for detecting the object in the hazard space.
