Default Car Stops & doors

I was on a down East Coastway service today, 12 car, which stopped at the 8
car mark at Gatwick Airport.

The driver released the doors (I was in coach 2), before they were hurriedly
closed again, and the Conductor made an announcement advising pax not to
alight, as we were not yet fully in the platform and would be pulling
forward.

With SDO and related GPS gizmos on the 377s, I was wondering, would the
doors have actually released on the carriages not in the platform? Or are
the systems not quite that clever?
