Comfort and Convenience
Seating position is a personal thing. Height, leg length and the way someone prefers to hold the wheel all vary, so two people driving the same car rarely settle on the same posture.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Working out where the essentials sit, such as lights, hazard switch and demister, is simplest while stationary. Later on, reaching for them becomes a matter of memory instead of searching, which counts in rain or unfamiliar traffic.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Battery level is the usual concern on longer trips, since navigation drains a phone quickly. Where charging is provided in the cabin, it removes that worry, independently of how calls or music are handled.
