So they can walk through other people, and presumably though a closed car door, but Robbie can still ride in the car when it sets off?
I never liked that when they did it in TNG, if you can walk through walls, how do you not fall through the floor? How can you use a lift?
It's a standard in sci-fi that if you're incorporeal the laws of gravity still apply to you, at least to a certain degree. I think that the easiest way to look at it is that it the person can control their incorporeality to a certain degree and because they believe they should be able stand on a floor and ride in an elevator they can. Either that or they can only pass through objects along their X & X axis but not their Y.
