Why are drivers on the left/right of a car, when having the driver dead set in the middle would grant better vision on both sides?

Question

I’m sure it has to do something with direction of traffic and what not, but I think it’s just more natural that way no?

Answer 1

you can get a car with the driver in the center! it is just that it is a Mclaren F1, which runs north of $10,000,000.
