@hanzi The slightly more fundamental problem is that there are only so many buttons, knobs, etc that can fit between the driver and the door. The bulk of the controls are on the other side. On a fully-mirrored car, a right-handed driver is using their dexterous hand to do a simple motion (pushing a lever up or down) while using their clumsier hand to do a more important and precise motion (changing to the desired gear).
