A door assembly has a door panel for an entryway into a vehicle having an electronic controller. The door assembly also includes a door locking system having a latch mechanism for selectively latching the door panel to and unlatching the door panel from the vehicle body. The door assembly additionally includes an electronic circuit embedded in the door panel, having an electronic chip configured to detect a gesture of a vehicle user proximate the door panel, and configured to generate a signal indicative of the detected gesture. Each of the latch mechanism and the electronic circuit is in operative communication with the controller. The controller is configured to receive the signal from the electronic circuit and command the latch mechanism to either latch or unlatch the door panel from the vehicle body in response to the detected gesture. A method of unlatching a vehicle door panel is also disclosed.
