An apparatus for detecting user inputs for controlling a vehicle, the apparatus comprising an electronic processor comprising:

• an electrical input configured to receive, from a first user input device provided on a steering'wheel of the vehicle, a signal indicating a first gesture input detected by the first user input device;
• an electrical input configured to receive, from a second user input device provided on the steering wheel of the vehicle, a signal indicating a second gesture input detected by the second user input device;
• and
• an electronic memory device electrically coupled to the electronic processor and having instructions stored therein,
• wherein the processor is configured to access the memory device and execute the instructions stored therein such that it is operable to:
• determine a combination user input, where the combination user input comprises the first gesture input and the second gesture input;
• command control of a function of the vehicle by enabling a function associated with the combination user input to be performed;
• and
• disable at least one of the user input devices if it is detected that the steering wheel has been rotated at a rate greater than a threshold rate.
