Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for dismissing displayed elements. In some implementations, a device with a touchscreen is operated using a first touch input threshold value, which may correspond to a minimum distance of input to the touchscreen to identify a gesture. An automobile mode event is detected that initiates an automobile mode for the device. A user input to the touchscreen of the device is received while the device is in the automobile mode. Using a second touch input threshold value corresponding to the automobile mode, the device determines that the user input to the touchscreen of the device represents a gesture corresponding to a user interface element displayed on the device. The device dismisses the user interface element so that the user interface element is no longer displayed.
