German regulator says it discovered new illegal software on Daimler diesels
This is further proof that everyone was doing it.There are so many valuable lessons to takeaway from this, but weirdly for me, it's to never depend on innovation. Especially specific innovation.It's important to remember that everyone a decade ago was riding high about the potential for diesel. Consumers, car producers, and regulators. And everyone was making promises about how good diesel was going to get - based on the expectation that you can just dump resources into a certain technology and get innovation,  magically and predictably. But it feels like everyone just hit the innate limitation of the resource and tried to pretend it didn't exist.
