Aren't most of the controls on your picture not on the center console? The bloody hazards button is behind the driving wheel and inaccessible to the passenger.

For what it's worth I've pretty much always known the controls to be over the center console.

And the instruments being there as well has been happening for some time, at least for some vehicle classes e.g. on the C3 picasso anything but the purely driving-related controls is on the center console: https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/citroen/c3-picasso/61746/used-...

Look at the controls behind the gear shift stick - not much but still similar to what Mazda does with the audio controls.

BTW, I have never used the hazard button while the car is in motion or at least driving very slowly.

I don't think I've ever seen a car where these weren't on the center console.

'round here it's common to use the hazards when in sight of or at the tail of a highway / freeway traffic jam.

The controls there are definitely not in the same place as most cars. Here they are to the right of the driver, between the gear shift stick and the handbrake.

Apart from some modern cars with a single dial and maybe a couple buttons there, most only have storage space there and the controls are in the front, not between the driver and passenger.
