Passive=yes changes three things about how a vehicle drives.
A passive vehicle does not set its own speed while Accelerates=yes is on. It is neither sped up nor braked near its destination, and keeps the speed it was last given. A vehicle at the head of a line hands its speed to each vehicle following it on every step, as long as the leader has Accelerates=yes and is not passive itself. That is how cars keep pace with a locomotive. Without Accelerates=yes, the flag does not affect speed.
A passive vehicle needs a route that reaches its destination. When the destination cell is blocked, an ordinary vehicle accepts a route that ends beside it. A passive vehicle does not, so a blocked destination leaves it with no route at all.
Partway through a turn, when the next cell of its route is enterable, a passive vehicle starts the following turn at once. An ordinary vehicle finishes its current turn first.
