A four wheeled horse drawn carriage can have many different styles and names, just like a car. A horse drawn "carriage" is simply a four-wheeled, horse drawn conveyance...a two wheeled conveyance is called a "cart". You start to differentiate between a four wheeled "carriage" and a "wagon" by it's uses. Although certain styles of horse drawn "wagons" can also be considered a carriage, such as a wagonette or a hotel wagon, you would not necessarily call a delivery wagon, such as a hitch or express wagon, a "carriage".
Like cars, many carriages were given names by their manufacturers that then stuck with other manufacturers (think "Coupe", for example, which originated with carriages). A coach, which is an enclosed carriage, was either made as a hard top (always enclosed), or an "auto-top", meaning the top could be folded down in good weather (like a convertible). Carriages that can never be enclosed, such as a Victoria, are never called "coaches".

The term "hansom cab" originates from the name of its inventor, Joseph Hansom, who designed the vehicle in 1834. The hansom cab is a two-wheeled horse-drawn carriage, notable for its speed and maneuverability, making it popular in urban areas. Its design allowed for a driver in the front and passengers seated in the back, providing a more comfortable ride compared to earlier carriages. The term has since become synonymous with this iconic mode of transportation from the 19th century.
It would be perfectly feasible to sit next to a taxi driver in the front seat, rather than riding in the back, but I think that taxi drivers prefer to be separated a bit from their passengers, who are in some cases noisy, talkative, or otherwise are potentially distracting, and drivers have to pay attention to their driving, and do not want too much distraction. There may also be some historical tradition that has been kept from the days when taxis were horse-drawn. In an old horse-drawn taxi-cab, passengers rode in a carriage and the driver rode outside the carriage on top, where he could hold the reins to the horses.
Chariots in Roman civilisation were the same as the chariots in other ancient civilisations. They were carriage drawn by horses. They had a floor, a waist-high semicircular guard in front and two wheels.

The horse drawn carriage was invented in Hungary in the Fifteenth Century. It was built to carry a princess to her wedding but this early design had no steering as such and had to be dragged sideways by its team of horses to turn a corner. Development was slow but eventually the front axle was mounted on a turntable to provide steering and the horse drawn wagon was a semi-practical, if not very comfortable vehicle. Suspension systems evolved slowly but by the early nineteenth century most of the problems had been solved and the improvements in road construction and maintenance made the horse drawn carriage a viable form of transport. It was invented by Lu Ban. The carriage is still in use.

A postilion boot is a type of riding boot that reaches just below the knee. It is traditionally worn by postilions, which were riders who rode the left horse of a pair of horses on a horse-drawn carriage. The boot is known for its distinctive design and practicality for riding horses.
It is located on the driver's side under carriage. You can't miss it. It looks like a baby's sippy cup with an orientation arrow pointing towards the front of the vehicle. Goodluck!
