Do you think it would be more comfortable or more natural if it was on the left? I understand that is the way it's always been. The windshield wiper control used to be an industry standard as well.. Now it has it's own stick on the right.

Technically, as we have more and more displays in these cars, you can still control the cruise with the D-pad. Press or say cruise control, then the D-pad turns into the obvious controls. Up, increases speed, down decreases speed, left cancels. All can be shown on a heads up display.

I know that some of the controls on vehicles today leave me feeling that it could be better. I'm just throwing a thought on the table.
