With my right shoulder in a sling, I found driving an automatic somewhat difficult. If that was a permanent thing, I'd buy an old Dodge or Plymouth push button drive. The buttons were on the left.
Similarly, Porsches have ignition on the left up until who knows? I don't follow modern cars.

Trying to insert the key in the column of my Jag with my left hand was impossible. I'd have to go around to the passenger side to start the car. I don't remember if the Jag needs a foot on the brake to start, but if it did, I used a cane.

Once back in the driver's seat I could reach across to the console and shift the lever. It could have been a stick shift, that I could do. Hold the wheel with the knee. The seat belt was another issue.
