An example of a system to control an in-vehicle system includes a wearable device, a vehicle communications platform operatively disposed in a vehicle, a control module in communication with the vehicle communications platform, and the in-vehicle system. The wearable device is for recognizing a hand gesture. The vehicle communications platform is for receiving an in-vehicle system request in response to authentication of the hand gesture, and for transmitting the in-vehicle system request to the control module upon receiving the in-vehicle system request. The control module is for transmitting an in-vehicle system command to the in-vehicle system upon receiving the in-vehicle system request from the vehicle communications platform. The in-vehicle system is responsive to the in-vehicle system command from the control module.
