I though an arm rest will be a relatively cheap accessory for car manufacturers to provide. But if you check even cars priced at 10 lakhs (Indian price), it is difficult to find models which come with arm rest. Rarely, we see some cars which come with that (that too only AT cars). It is one accessory I feel missing when I get stuck in bumper to bumper traffic.
What is the big deal in providing an arm rest? Is it because it may hinder with the hand break and gear shaft/knob? Isn't it easy to define an arm rest such that it can be pulled out and retracted very easily (or can be even made automatic based on hand detection :-)? I would have liked to see arm rests which makes changing gears (left arm rest) and handling the steering (right arm rest) a pleasure....
