Whether you’re a car enthusiast or not, you have to love Eric Peters: insanely knowledgeable and thoroughly libertarian. We have a lot to discuss today: nanny-ish new cars, the consequences of federal regulation, the “mobile driver’s license” and the privacy issues involved, the Jeep we’re allowed to buy but not drive, and a lot more.
About the Guest
