A system for use in a vehicle, including a steering element situated opposite a driver seat in a vehicle, the steering element including a plurality of proximity sensors encased in the periphery of the steering element operable to detect hand gestures along the outer periphery of the steering element, an interactive deck housed in the vehicle, for providing at least one of radio broadcast, video broadcast, audio entertainment, video entertainment and navigational assistance in the vehicle, and a processor housed in the vehicle, coupled with the proximity sensors and the deck, operable to identify the hand gestures detected by the proximity sensors, and to control the deck in response to thus-identified hand gestures.

1. A system for use in a vehicle, comprising: a steering element, situated opposite a driver's seat in a vehicle, comprising a plurality of proximity sensors for detecting multiple fingers concurrently touching the steering element;an interactive deck housed in the vehicle, for providing at least one of radio broadcast, video broadcast, audio entertainment, video entertainment, telephone communication and navigational assistance in the vehicle; anda processor housed in the vehicle, coupled with said proximity sensors and said deck, wherein, when said proximity sensors detect that one of the fingers is raised from said steering element, the processor determines which one of the fingers was lifted based on a relative location of the raised finger within the multiple fingers, and wherein the processor performs different functions of said deck in response to similar gestures performed by different thus-determined ones of the fingers. 2. The system of claim 1 wherein said processor identifies the multiple fingers concurrently touching said steering element as being fingers of one hand, based upon the size of a segment covered by a hand holding said steering element. 3. The system of claim 1 wherein said processor identifies the multiple fingers concurrently touching said steering element as being fingers of one hand, by detecting up to four fingers adjacent to one another along a periphery of said steering element. 4. The system of claim 1 wherein said processor controls a radio or an audio function of said deck in response to a tap gesture performed by a first determined finger, and controls a telephone function of said deck in response to a similar tap gesture performed by a second determined finger, different than the first determined finger. 5. The system of claim 1 wherein said processor further determines which of the driver's hands the detected fingers belong to, by associating detections along a left half of said steering element with the driver's left hand, and associating detections along a right half of said steering element with the driver's right hand. 6. The system of claim 5 wherein said processor executes first and second control functions in response to tap gestures performed by index and middle fingers of the driver's left hand, respectively, and executes third and fourth control functions, different than the first and second control functions, in response to tap gestures performed by index and middle fingers of the driver's right hand, respectively. 7. A system for use in a vehicle, comprising: a steering element situated opposite a driver's seat in a vehicle, comprising a plurality of proximity sensors operable to detect hand gestures along an outer periphery of the steering element;an interactive deck housed in the vehicle, for providing at least one of radio broadcast, video broadcast, audio entertainment, video entertainment, telephone communication and navigational assistance in the vehicle;a memory for storing a plurality of different driver tables, each driver table associating each of a plurality of hand gestures with a respective control function for said deck; anda processor housed in the vehicle, coupled with said proximity sensors, said deck and said memory, operable (i) to select a driver table appropriate for a current driver, (ii) to identify the hand gestures detected by said proximity sensors, and (iii) to execute the deck control functions associated with the thus-identified hand gestures, as per the selected driver table. 8. The system of claim 7 wherein said processor further comprises: a user identification module for identifying a current driver; anda communication module for wirelessly communicating with a remote server, wherein said processor downloads the driver table appropriate for the current driver from the remote server to said memory when the current driver is identified by said user identification module. 9. The system of claim 8 for use in a rental car, wherein the current driver is a renter of the car. 10. The system of claim 8 wherein each driver table is automatically populated by a respective driver interacting with a simulated driver environment outside of an automobile.
