An actuation interface for actuating a cover (e.g., a vehicle window, door, sun roof, partition, gate, etc.) that selectively covers an opening in a compartment may be configured for actuation based at least in part on a number of concurrent touch inputs. The cover may be controlled by receiving a touch input at the actuation interface, and detecting a number of concurrent touch inputs that are received as part of the touch input. The cover may be actuated to move based at least in part on a determination of the number of concurrent touch inputs that are received at the actuation interface.

Techniques for utilizing three-dimensional (3D) sound for passenger notification are described herein. Computing device(s) onboard a vehicle can determine an occurrence of an event associated with a passenger of the vehicle or the vehicle, and can determine a 3D sound associated with the event. Then, the computing device(s) can send a signal associated with the 3D sound to a speaker system inside of the vehicle and, responsive to receiving the signal, one or more speakers of the speaker system can output the 3D sound such that a sound associated with the 3D sound is perceived to be localized relative to the passenger in the vehicle.
