The cockpit of the virtual console vehicle
projects the view of surrounding traffic in
reverse and adjusts the control systems so
that the driver visiting a "wrong-side-of-the-
road-driving country" can just proceed
normally.

Um. Sounds like a plan. What am I missing? Oh, yeah - the bigger problm with driving one the "wrong side" of the road is that many of the traffic priorities are changed too, not simply in a mirror image way. |

It sounds like a nice idea, but I think its just to technologically demanding for any time soon. |

For now, I'd recommend something that would constantly remind you to drive oppositely of what is normal to you. |

This got me thinking about seeing the world in mirror image. Could this be done with a pair of glasses with a tricky configuration of lenses/mirrors? |

I think some off-road trucks and construction equipment have a steering wheel and console that can slide over to the other side of the cab, since they have mostly hydraulic controls. Is this what you're talking about? |

I got carsick just trying to imagine how this might work. Everted bun for you. |
