projects the view of surrounding traffic in

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. |

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? |
