&gt; Horn testified that the decision to use the cheating software was not made at the corporate level. Instead, it was &quot;software engineers who put this in for whatever reason.&quot; He said three people have been suspended over the issue and that &quot;this was not a corporate decision.&quot;<p>&gt;He told lawmakers the automaker is working on &quot;software and hardware solutions.&quot;<p>&gt;When asked how the cheating software worked, Horn said he didn&#x27;t know. &quot;Personally, no. I&#x27;m not an engineer,&quot; he said.<p>It is a good reminder, if you&#x27;ve ever doubted it, that if someone asks you to do something illegal&#x2F;not compliant, you&#x27;ll be thrown under the bus if the company get caught.<p>I have a really hard time believing that this was the decision of a lone wolf at the bottom of the food chain. At least, the management is responsible for creating (or not) a culture of compliance vs result at any cost.
