as a safety feature, wire it in w/ the reverse lights.
wire it with the breaks!, instant airbreak ala veyron and its always a good idea to have a look at how fast the truck behind you is going before standing on the breaks (not that that's very hypermiler like but still)

for actuators perhaps a powered window motor and some pulleys could work? i assume some of these motors might already have witches build in to detect the end of the windows travel... although the operations speed and strength might not be enough for what you need
