I think you would find 90% of 4wds are automatic now as well.
Modern autos are actually more efficient than manuals, and easier to drive. The market has spoken.
The wiper stalk position varies depending on the car. As I pretty much only drive European cars it's always on the left and not an issue.
As for switching between LHD and RHD, you'll have a default. When stressed (heavy traffic, bad weather etc) your brain will be overloaded making decisions and you will use your default. If that doesn't match the car you're in, you'll try and change gear with the door handle. It's just mlike crossing the street, the way you first learnt is burnt in, and while you can override that, one day the basic programming comes back to the top and you look the wrong way and step out.
