QOTD: Should There Be An Office of Automotive Regulation?
One of the more interesting bits of today's podcast , in my not-at-all-biased opinion, is the part where guest John McElroy and I discuss why there should, or shouldn't, be an Office of Automotive Regulation. The idea of having a specific office of the federal government dedicated to regulating the automotive industry, as opposed to the hodgepodge we deal with today (DOT, NHTSA, EPA) struck me as interesting.

So, I ask of you, is John's idea a sound one? Should there be such an office? One that regulates fuel economy, crash and safety standards, technical standards, maybe even road-related infrastructure, and so forth and so on? Or is the status quo working?
You know what to do. Sound off below.
