In other embodiments, any device capable of receiving user input to control the movement may be used. In one embodiment, the system includes a user input receiving module coupled to a processor and configured to receive variations in user input forces applied to a touch-sensitive user interface over a period of time, wherein the intentional or unintentional variations in user input forces over the period of time are indicative of user intent to control the vehicle.
