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


I 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.


Yes, 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.
