1. A vehicle autonomous drive system comprising:
a steering wheel;
a sensor operable to identify each gesture component within a set of gesture components performed on said steering wheel by a driver of the vehicle, the set of gesture components comprising: thumb-tap, thumb touch-and-hold, thumb-glide, hand-grab and hand-tap;
a processor for an autonomous drive system in the vehicle, receiving from said sensor, a series of time-stamped, contact coordinates for the gesture components identified by said sensor; and
a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions thereon that, when executed by said processor, cause said processor to construct compound gestures based on the series of time-stamped, contact coordinates, and to activate features of the autonomous drive system in response to the compound gestures.
