6. A computer based method for executing a command in a vehicle, comprising the steps of: receiving a voice signal; receiving a gesture signal; performing a voice recognition procedure to generate a voice recognition (VR) score representing a likelihood that the voice signal corresponds to a first voice command; performing a gesture recognition procedure to generate a gesture recognition (GR) score representing a likelihood that the gesture signal corresponds to a first gesture command; generating a combined recognition score based on a combination of said VR score and said GR score; and executing a first command in the vehicle corresponding to at least one of said first voice command and said first gesture command when said combined recognition score exceed a first threshold.

The method of claim 6 , further comprising the step of: generating a confirmation request, prior to executing said first command, when said combined recognition score does not exceed a second threshold.
