Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus, and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for activating a function by selecting a graphical user interface (GUI) element on a screen of a vehicle using a capacitive controller. In some implementations, the method can include detecting an active selection of a first GUI element on the screen of the vehicle selectable using the capacitive controller positioned on a steering wheel of the vehicle. In addition, the method can include detecting a movement of a finger of a driver in the vehicle across the capacitive controller on the steering wheel of the vehicle. The method can further include determining a direction of the movement of the finger. The method can additionally include automatically moving the active selection to a second selectable GUI element on the screen based on the direction of the movement of the finger.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus, and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for performing interaction between displays of an automobile. In some implementations, the method may include displaying, on a first screen, a first graphical user interface (GUI) including multiple regions, a first region including multiple graphical representations, each graphical representation representing a respective application through which a user can interact with the respective application. In addition, the method may include detecting a user input on a selected graphical representation of the multiple graphical representations on the first GUI.
