Sony Car Gear with Finger Gestures

The new Sony NaviGadgets, the NV-U81T and NV-U80, both have a touchscreen with Gesture Command. Hocus-pocus-take-me-home! (press release) Sony: "Frequently-used commands like “take me home” or “find the nearest fuel station” can be made with a quick, simple stroke of a finger on the large touch screen. This unique ‘Gesture Command’ improves driver safety and concentration by reducing the need for fiddly option selection or scrolling through on-screen menus. For safer calling while on the road, it can also dial a hands-free call to your home number on a Bluetooth equipped mobile phone with a single gesture."
