Message detection and delivery control mechanisms disclosed herein refrain from presenting the content of multiple messages received in quick succession until a delivery event condition is detected.

In this manner, both disruption to the user experience as well as potential safety concerns, particularly in an in-vehicle environment, are mitigated by reducing the number and frequency of messages that are consumed.
