We all drive right? Well, maybe not all of us. Babies don't drive, or at least, really shouldn't. Some people commute by train. Or bus. Or dune buggy. But most of us drive a car, truck, or SUV fairly regularly. On the latest episode of HDI John enlightens us on the complicated history of the automobile industry and its pioneers. Can a person be amazingly innovative and horribly bigoted? The only way to know for sure is to listen. Or research it yourself. But listening to us is easier.
