I was watching a video from the UK recently talking about the new Subaru Solterra electric car. Since the video was from the UK, the steering wheel was on the right side of the car, which meant that the "infotainment" system was to the left of the driver. Thus, the driver has to control the screen using their left hand. I hadn't thought of that (probably) unintended consequence! Back when it was all physical knobs and buttons, I don't think it would have been a big problem to control things using one's non-dominant hand, but trying to use a touch screen is quite a different thing!

I wonder if people who drive on the left side of the road are just forced to be a little more ambidextrous (or be left handed!) than people in other countries are?
