Comfort and Convenience
Seating position is a personal preference rather than a standard: height, leg length and the way someone likes to hold the wheel all pull the ideal setting in different directions, so two drivers rarely settle identically.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Learning where the essential controls sit before setting off is a matter of preparation. Hazard lights, demisting and the horn are easier to use when they have been located calmly in a stationary car.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Phone charging is its own need, separate from calls or music: a commute that starts with a low battery means arriving with one too. Where a charging point is available, using it becomes routine.
