I was wondering how the two different standards of driving came about: The USA / North American standard of driving on the "right side" with the steering wheel on the left, and the UK / Japan standard of driving on the "left side" with the steering wheel on the right.
I would think it would be in the early auto makers interest to establish a single driving standard as it would save them millions, and eventually billions, of dollars in manufacturing costs.
Does anyone have any idea as to how and why these two driving standards evolved?

Thanks.
