Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to vehicles, and more particularly to a vehicle user control system for use with a vehicle, and a method of executing vehicle commands. Background technique [0002] Vehicles typically include a large number of systems and components that require a user to operate and interact in operating the vehicle. Systems and / or components are often operated via switches or some other type of manually manipulated actuator. [0003] The demands of operating a vehicle, including the need to remain alert and aware of traffic and road conditions, make it undesirable for users to take their eyes off the road and / or take their hands off the steering wheel. However, when a user wishes to operate or actuate one or more systems and / or components while operating the vehicle, they may need to temporarily take their eyes off the road and take their hands off the steering wheel. [0004] Previous efforts to address the above concerns have been d...
