• determining a first command provided by a person in a vehicle and received by a first type of actuating device;
• determining a second command provided by the person and received by a second type of non-actuating device;
• determining a predetermined relationship between the first command and the second command, wherein the predetermined relationship is associated with receipt of the second command by the second type of non-actuating device within a selected time duration after receipt of the first command by the first type of actuating device;
• generating a signal to cause the vehicle to perform a maneuver associated with the first command and the second command;
• and automatically performing the maneuver based on the signal.
