#3I don't buy the implication that this didn't go up extremely high in VW. I'm sure they'll find some low level drone(s) to take the fall like normal, but generally speaking if they were engineering and building cars which they KNEW couldn't pass emmissions it had to have been a concerted effort to cheat the system inter-departmentally, which means coordination, which means senior management involvement.

They can be re-programmed to stay within emissions. The user just might feel the driving experience worsens as a result.

Some of them will need new hardware to reduce NOx emissions in real-world driving conditions.

I don't think the government can say "you were lied to about your car, stop using it" also VW can't force people to get the recall, why would you want to get a recall that worsens the performance of you car.

Couldn't they force the hardware/software modifications when people go in for yearly inspections?

#8Well, that's what happens when your software lies.
At least EFF had a small win here https://supporters.eff.org/civicrm/mailing/view?reset=1&id=1... despite losing the fight against idiotic CISA.

The CEO has already been fired, but for something this big it won't just be the low-level types that get fired.
