Volkswagen's U.S. head: individuals engineered emissions cheating
"This was a couple of software engineers who put this in for whatever reason," - I'm not buying it. What would be their motive compared say to VW's motive? VW has a heck of a lot more motive for falsifying emissions than do "a couple of software engineers." Even if you were to argue the engineers were somehow fearful for their jobs that's still VW's problem because they're the ones who created that work environment instilling that fear.<p>I really expected VW to do better in handling this. Some business analysts are saying VW may be out of business within five years time. Based off this testimony I say good riddance.
