Eli5 why driving on one side of a car is more practical than driving in the middle of one. Surely, the middle gives you better spacial awareness but things like the Monza SP1 exist and you still sit on one side of the vehicle

Passing is the biggest reason. Not all roads have multiple lanes in one direction. Passing on a single lane highway would be tantamount to suicide if the driver’s perspective was centered. You have to be able to see if something is coming on the opposing lane.
Youll notice that regardless of which side the driver is on, they nearly always drive on the side closest to the median of the road.
Sitting in the center gives no advantages while limiting ones ability to see around vehicles in front of them.
