Left vs right hand drive is a poor comparison. The choice is entirely arbitrary, and nobody can seriously say that one is "better".

- spectramax 6y agoI am talking about adoption and standardization, not whether one is better than the other. If right hand side was “better”, it would be pretty much impossible for US/EU to change the driving side. Can you imagine the costs? Even if it was better.
- ascorbic 6y agoYes, but my point is that it isn't an example of the US adopting a standard. It's the US just happening to have chosen the more popular of two arbitrary options.
