Keyless Entry
The days of twisting a key into a lock are slowly fading away, and most new cars have keyless entry. This means that you can open the car by pressing a button on a fob or by grasping the door handle, which means that your hands are free and you don't need to search through your bag looking for the keys.
The system works by the car emitting a radio signal that is received by the key fob, which in turn sends a reply signal to the car. The car will then detect this and either open the doors or turn on the interior lights (if configured to do that).
Certain variations of keyless entry don't use any kind of fob, instead using an application on a smartphone that can transmit signals directly to the car. This is often referred to as the phone-as-key or digital key, and it can also be a great method to allow other drivers access to the car without needing to pass over the keys.

Modern keyless entry systems are secured by a variety of sensors, which includes door handle detectors. This is placed within the front doors and is waiting for a trigger like the insertion of the key or a button press on the tailgate. If the trigger is detected, a response is sent to the car's control unit, and it unlocks the doors and starts the engine.

The switch contacts are wired to the power supply which is then connected to a motor in order to complete the actual winding.
