An electronic latch is a simple bi-stable state-holding circuit. That means it has two stable "states", kind of like a light switch (ON and OFF). Once the latch is switched ON, it will stay there until it is switched OFF or until power is lost, and vice-versa.

Latches can be built in a variety of ways, but the most commonly studied latch is the S-R latch made with NAND or NOR gates. In this latch, "SET" is the name of one state, and "RESET" is the other state:

Latches can be used to build memory circuits in digital systems. There are millions of latch circuits in a computer system.

Why does the trunk lid open on its own?

could be a short in the electronic release on your trunk latch. if you have one of those handy lil remotes that opens your trunk for you, that meaans theres a little electronic switch that's hooked to your latch. if there is a short " 1 or 2 wires toucing each other or something metal in your car" that could be a problem. does it happen when you go over bumps ? or another reason is that your latch could be adjusted to loose and needs to be tightened, the loop lowered ect. could be many things with all of the electronics in cars today. it is either mechanical, " whole trunk lock assmbly is to loose" or electronic " the electric switch hooked to your latch, or maybe a short in the remote that keeps popping when not wanted. those are a couple options to think about.
