Good point. The "Gizmo" EV steering was 2 levers on the floor, I guess
like some trikes.
I remember the quote from the Tanenbaum book...."The great thing about
standards is there are just so many to choose from."..

Anyone who has driven a Ford model T can certainly attest to the challenges of
having all the controls in the "wrong" locations. (OK, the steering wheel is
the same as modern cars; but nothing else).
The early EVs also had considerably different controls. How about tiller
steering? :-)
The tiller also had a hand grip that you rotated forward to accelerate, and
backward for braking. Backward would give you *plenty* of electric braking
force!
