VEHICULAR INPUT APPARATUS

A vehicular input apparatus includes a gesture sensor, an external device controller, and an output stop unit. The gesture sensor detects a gesture that is a non-contact gesture. The external device controller outputs an operation signal corresponding to the gesture detected by the gesture sensor to a first external device. When the gesture sensor detects the gesture, the output stop unit causes the external device controller to stop outputting the operation signal in response to a detection signal from at least one of a contact sensor and a proximity sensor for manipulating a second external device. The external device controller outputs the operation signal to the first external device after a second predetermined period of time.
