"Passive Entry" seems to imply (to me, anyway) that you can reconfigure
your own molecules at will so you can pass through another solid object,
like a car, and then perhaps return to a more solid state so you could sit
in the car's seat. I like "passive unlocking" better.

Please respond to Robert Kidd
Is anyone familiar with the term "Passive entry" to refer to the
automatic unlocking of car doors as you approach the car using some
kind of electronic key so that you do not even need to press a button
on a remote. I thought it was "Remote unlocking" but that would seem to
entail the pressing of a button. This seems different. Is "Passive
entry" the correct term? What else could this be called?
