A controller () senses via one or more sensors () parameters that correspond to likely cognitive loading for the driver of a vehicle. Based upon a sense of this cognitive loading, the controller () selects a particular user interface mode from amongst a plurality of user interface modes when receiving a message via a wireless unit () intended for the driver of the vehicle. In general, the selected user interface will present a corresponding cognitive challenge that is reasonable in view of the present cognitive load being experienced by the driver. In one embodiment, the sensor information can be used to also estimate the likely duration of present cognitive loading. This window-of-opportunity information is then additionally used to select a particular user interface option.
