This is the very reason why certain "everything ought to act as an iPad" attempts - such as controlling A/C vents with touch controls - will fail. If the motion comes with distraction (who wants to take eyes of the road while adjusting any control), muscle memory will not be satisfying and become rejected. Absence of distraction is one of the key elements, in addition to others.

In all likelihood, the majority of gesture controls will be underutilized.
And this is way the over reliance on touch screens and voice commands is an utterly stupid trend that has infected the car industry.
